I know there's an item enchantment but I can't recall if there's a spell that does the same thing.
Touch of Mercy
This is exactly what I'm looking for (I think; I can't access the SRD from work). What book is that spell from? What's its level/classes/duration?

Damn, I was hoping the duration was longer than 1 round/level, but I can make it work. Either that or simply create a spell for my purposes since I'm the GM, heh.
Well for something with a longer duration (permanant) if your GM is okay with 3rd party

That thud you hear is the game balance scale striking the floor.

Heh, thanks for the suggestion but that's a little much. Basically there's going to be a tourney and rather than having the participants use blunted weapons I was hoping for a low-level spell that could be cast on the participants' regular weapons. Since I'm the GM I'll probably just make something up, but it's always easier if there's already something out there that I can use.

Oh that's easy enough I think let me do some digging for you.
Hymn of Mercy targets an area, tho' with the same duration. Maybe a constant item on the tourney grounds?
