Journey's Orison (Priest Spell)

Using this spell, the caster can bless an indi­vidual about to embark upon a long trip, or can bless an object that is being transported a long dis­tance. The caster lays hands on the individual or object, intones the spell, and states the destination of the journey. For the duration of the trip to a spe­cific site – which must be reachable in a number of weeks' travel equal to the level of the caster – the blessed person receives a +2 bonus to all saving throws caused by natural mishaps, and a +1 bonus to reaction rolls of any fellow wanderer. A blessed object gains a +2 bonus to all saving throws as well.
The reverse of the spell, journey's malison, is rarely cast by good and neutral casters. though they might use it to punish brigands or unscrupulous merchants. Evil casters might employ !he spell and then demand that the only way for the affected individual or object to survive is to have the caster accompany the expedition as a well-paid guide.
Notes: Common for specialty priests known as “stridesmen.” Very rare for priests with access to the sphere of Travelers. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
