===Description===
Channeling the blasphemy of the Pit through your hand, you mark your target with a brief but fundamental corruption, causing its soul to be damned to Hell should it die within the next minute. Those killed while under the effect of this spell become difficult to raise from the dead. A non-Ximatian who attempts to resurrect such a creature must succeed at a caster level check(DC 10 + your caster level), or the effect fails, wasting any material components, but revealing to the caster that the target soul has met (a perhaps undeserved) torment in Hell. A Ximatian spellcaster can raise the creature in question normally. The spells miracle and wish can resurrect a creature damned in this way without need for a caster level check and regardless of the caster's religion.
A soul damned in this way may also be freed by bodily going to Hell, locating the affected soul, and leading it out of the plane. You can end the effects of your own malediction by casting the spell again while concentrating on the past target. These options free the target to their rightful place in death; they do not automatically return a target to life.
*Note This spell is an adaptation of Paizo's malediction from the Book of Damnation.
If a non-mythic creature is damned by this spell, only a mythic spellcaster, Ximatian spellcaster, or a miracle or wish spell can attempt the caster level check to resurrect it. All other attempts automatically fail. Add your tier to the caster level DC to resurrect any creature damned by this spell.
