From ancient times, servants of heaven are battling hordes of undead,
as undead state of being is a horrible abomination in eyes of (most)
gods, and danger to all living beings.
Priests\' role in societies is often first line of protection against
such ungodly perversions, and so they have powerful means of
fighting the undead at their disposal.
This spell is taught to every young priest as soon as he joins ranks
of priesthood, so that he or she can immediately help with this
dauntless task. It allows priest to invoke a brief flash of heavenly
light right in front of an undead target. Mere presence of this
light weakens and hurts these unholy beings, going right at their base
essence, using the lowest resist.
