Regenerate Serious Wounds (Priest Spell)

This spell is the same as the 1st level priest spell, regenerate light wounds, except for its dura­tion (48 hours per level of the caster) and magni­tude. This spell heals 2d4+3 points of damage at a rate of 1 hit point per round. If the recipient is at full hit points when the regenerate serious wounds spell is cast, the spell has no immediate effect. Instead, if the individual is later injured (suffers at least 1 point of damage), the regeneration begins at that time. The spell ends when the individual reaches maximum hit points or has regenerated the full 2d4+3 hit points.
If the spell recipient is subject to a subsequent curative spell (including another regenerate wounds spell), drinks a potion of healing, or uses other mag­ical healing powers, the original regenerate light wounds spell ends immediately. If the regenerative power is not fully used within 48 hours per caster level, then it ends without further effect. Healing gained from the spell before it ends is retained.
The regenerate wounds spells (and their reversed forms) affect only (hose creatures affected by cure light wounds spells, and the healing (injury) is only as permanent as that provided by a cure (cause) light wounds spell.
The reverse of this spell, degenerate serious wounds, causes the recipient to suffer 2d4+3 points of damage at the rate of 1 hit point per round. This degeneration begins after the creature regains at least 1 hit point from any cause. The degeneration stops when the spell has run its course or the creature dies.
