Harmful Cure[edit]

Cure Diease makes you fail against diseases. Wat? -- Eiji-kun 02:44, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

It makes the disease succeed against you. --Foxwarrior 23:03, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
That's just confusing though. Not the effect, the effect is awesome, but the name... there's no way I can translate it to mean what you're saying. -- Eiji-kun 00:43, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
This might be less confusing, and more consistent with SRD naming conventions, if it were called 'Heal Disease' by analogy with 'Heal Mount'. In 3.5, the word 'Cure' in a spell name is normally followed by the condition the target is cured of. --Ideasmith 01:05, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Good point. And it remains sufficiently ridiculous for my tastes. --Foxwarrior 01:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Personally, I burst out laughing when I noticed the wordplay in this spell. You aren't healing the victim, you're healing the disease! That just cracked me up. --Luigifan18 (talk) 23:04, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
