You weave a subtle enchantment that grants another creature a fleeting moment of confidence and capability.

When you cast Helping Hand, choose one of the following skills: Balance, Climb, Disable Device, Escape Artist, Heal, Hide, Jump, Listen, Move Silently, Open Lock, Search, Sleight of Hand, Spot, Survival, Swim, or Tumble.

The target gains a +2 competence bonus on the next check it makes with the chosen skill before the spell's duration expires. Once the bonus is applied to a skill check, the spell immediately ends.

A creature may benefit from only one Helping Hand spell at a time. Casting the spell again replaces the previous effect.
