Recitation is a level 4 spell from the Priest Scroll in Icewind Dale.

Description

“

By reciting a sacred passage or declaration, the priest invokes <PRO_HISHER> deity's blessing upon <PRO_HIMHER>self and <PRO_HISHER> allies while sowing confusion and weakness among <PRO_HISHER> enemies. The priest's allies gain a +2 bonus to their attack rolls and Saving Throws, and the priest's enemies receive a -2 penalty to the same. Recitation does not nullify a Prayer spell—the two can be cast in tandem, and the effects are cumulative.

”

Notes

• Only allies and enemies that are in line of sight of the caster are affected, no matter the area of effect.
• Its description puts this spell, in addition to Abjuration, also into the Invocation/Evocation school. This goes in line with the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition ruleset, which Icewind Dale is based on. In terms of game mechanics, however, only Abjuration is regarded.
