This page is about the wizard version of the spell. For the priest version, see Remove Curse (priest).
A Remove Curse spell will remove a curse on a person.
Description[]
| “ | Upon casting this spell, the wizard is usually able to remove a curse on an object, on a person, or in the form of some undesired sending or evil presence. Note that the Remove Curse spell does not remove the curse from a cursed shield, weapon, or suit of armor, for example, although the spell typically enables the person afflicted with any such cursed item to get rid of it. Certain special curses may not be countered by this spell or may be countered only by a caster of a certain level or more. | ” |
Gameplay[]
The caster applies this spell to one creature or self only.
Contrary to the spell's description this spell can't be used on an object, only a creature.
When the spell is finished the spell recipient will show a brief color fade and 3D graphic effect upon their sprite.
A text will also display, reading "Remove Curse".
This spell administers effect codes #26 and #283 which removes various curse effects from the targeted creature in one go.
This will also remove any portrait icons on the targeted creature titled "Cursed".
Note that this spell won't work against all curses in the game. For example, the curse applied to Jaheira during the Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's Curse quest is too powerful for this spell to remove it.

Trivia[]

Spell Revisions mod has replaced Remove Curse with this arcane spell, revising its title, casting time, abilities, and range. See below for description:
Break Enchantment

School: Abjuration
Range: Short
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None
Upon casting this spell, the mage is able to free a victim from enchantments and curses. The spell can reverse the effects of charm, confusion and feeblemindedness, free a victim from magical sleep or charm, and break the effects of a curse. Note that Break Enchantment cannot remove the curse from a cursed shield, weapon, or suit of armor, for example, but allows those afflicted with any such cursed item to get rid of it. Certain special curses may not be countered by this spell or may be countered only by a caster of a certain level or through a particular ritual.
The Sword Coast Stratagems mod's Clay Golem creature can inflict a "Cursed Wound" on any successful hit. Only a Remove Curse can remedy it.
