Cleanse Affliction is a divine spell that serves as the party's primary tool for removing diseases and other afflictions. At its base rank it reduces an advanced affliction's stage by one — a reduction that only helps at stage 2 or higher — while a heightened casting (3rd rank or above) adds a full counteract check that, on a success, deletes the affliction outright [S50 01:37:06]. The spell was first used decisively in S29, where a heightened casting — backed by hero-point recasts — cured the child, Veve, and the tengu of their disease [S29 02:37:34]. The same counteract logic returned in S38, when a rank-2 casting by Bandy failed the counteract check but Abbas's follow-up heightened rank-3 casting (with guidance) succeeded and cleared the slowed and sickened conditions caused by fungal rot [S38 01:51:22]. By S43 the party had internalized a deliberate strategy around the spell: wait for symptoms to appear, then commit to a full heightened blast rather than wasting a prepared slot on early suppression, since the free stage-reduction does nothing at stage 1 [S43 00:53:40]. As of S50, Cleanse Affliction remains Abbas's go-to remedy for serious afflictions. He used a 3rd-rank casting (counteract rank 4) to cure Venris's Velstrack disease, confirming that the heightened version reliably clears afflictions when the counteract check succeeds [S50 01:37:06].
