Pathfinder First Edition content This article covers a term or subject that is relevant to the Pathfinder campaign setting only in the context of the first edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

The bestow curse spell allows the caster to bestow a curse that reduces the afflicted being's physical or mental abilities; reduces their skill at fighting and performing other actions; or causes them to intermittently stop and stand still. Other effects are possible, but those listed are the most common.

A more powerful version, known as greater bestow curse, resists most attempts to dispel or suppress the bestowed curse, which becomes vulnerable only to wish magic, spells that break enchantments, or miracles.
