Cleanslate
Effect
This spell requires either that the target of your magic is immersed in running water, or that you have gathered a small philter of clean spring water with which to douse them. Once successfully cast, the target is cleansed of the effects of most forms of harmful magic.
Resolve this as if you made a Dispel attempt (WFRP, page 237) and received all the required SL in a single round. This spell does not remove negative effects that are the result of an item the target is wearing or carrying, nor can it cleanse such an item of its negative effects. It also does not remove negative conditions that are the result of magic, but which are not magical themselves (such as the Ablaze Condition caused by being set on fire by a spell of the Lore of Aqshy).
This is the single most requested spell of any Hedgewitch. Most ill intentioned magic can be washed away with a simple application of this spell. However, curses inflicted by powerful Wizards or Witches, particularly baleful Daemons, or the Ruinous Powers themselves are another matter. Such magic will generally require other ingredients to remove, or require the subject the undergo a series of unusual or painful trials, such as scaling every peak of the Middle Mountains or pulling out most of their own teeth. If so, casting this spell will reveal these requirements to the Hedgewitch.
While such enduring curses are rare, unscruplous Hedgewise sometimes demand a trial anyway. This might be to stand at a crossroads at midnight on one leg, bury a turnip and wait for it to rot, or gather obscure ingredients from perilous swamps. The reason for this is simple: few would be willing to pay the Hedgewitch’s fee if they knew the matter could be so easily resolved.
