This spell is cast on a romantic couple, and it prevents them from having children with anyone save each other. In addition, the spell overcomes all sterility in the couple, though only in regard to one another. This spell counters spells like seditious sterility and loins of the usurper, provided its caster wins an opposed caster level check. Faithful fertility ensures that a noble line is protected, and the risk of bastard children is be minimized. Originally, this spell was intended to protect women from rampaging barbarians who would rape them, but today it is more commonly used as a magical protective measure. Some nobles use faithful fertility as a way to enjoy dalliances on the side without fear of offspring. The effect can be dispelled with break enchantment. If seditious sterility or loins of the usurper are cast on a couple affected by this spell, the caster must win an opposed caster level check for the spell to be successful.
Material Component: A knot must be woven of hair belonging to both persons in the relationship. Flower garlands must be worn by all involved in the casting (targets and caster).
