This spell blesses an area with positive energy. All Charisma checks made to turn undead within this area gain a +3 sacred bonus. Undead entering this area suffer minor disruption, giving them a –1 sacred penalty on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. Undead cannot be created within or summoned into a consecrated area.

If the consecrated area contains an altar, shrine, or other permanent fixture dedicated to the character's deity, pantheon, or aligned higher power, the modifiers listed above are doubled (+6 sacred bonus to turning, –2 penalty to undead rolls). The character cannot consecrate an area with a similar fixture of a deity other than the character's own patron.

Consecrate counters and dispels desecrate.
