You become stronger, faster, more accurate and harder to hit. Your prowess in combat is truly something of which bards sing about. You can weather the toughest blows that your opponents throw at you.

Upon casting this spell, you gain proficiency with all [[SRD:Simple Weapon Proficiency|simple]] and [[SRD:Martial Weapon Proficiency|martial]] weapons, three temporary HP for every [[SRD:Casting Spells#Caster Level|caster level]] you possess (which disappear once this spell ends), when using manufactured melee weapons your [[Base Attack Bonus (Term)|BAB]] is equal to your [[SRD:Casting Spells#Caster Level|caster level]] (maximum of 20), and you use your spellcasting ability modifier in place of [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] to attack and damage for manufactured melee weapons.

Your base [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]] is set and equal to your ranks in [[SRD:Spellcraft Skill|Spellcraft]] (for [[SRD:Sorcerer|sorcerers]] or [[SRD:Wizard|wizards]]) or [[SRD:Perform Skill|Perform]] (for [[SRD:Bard|bards]]) plus your spellcasting ability modifier + 10 regardless of whatever protective effects are affecting you or the armor you wear. Your [[SRD:Armor Class#Touch Attacks|touch AC]] is 10 less than your new normal [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]], and your [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]] [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]] is 5 less than your new normal [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]]. Modifiers to [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]] from feats (such as the [[SRD:Dodge|dodge]] feat), [[SRD:Movement, Position, and_Distance#Big and Little Creatures in Combat|size modifiers]], and [[SRD:Favorable and Unfavorable Conditions|situational bonuses]] such as from [[SRD:Cover|cover]] change your new [[SRD:Armor Class|armor class]], but bonuses from other spells, items, class abilities and the like do not change your [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]].

During the duration of this spell, you also take a -10 penalty to [[SRD:Casting Spells#Caster Level|caster level]] for any future spells you cast until this spell ends; this may stop you from casting spells of a certain level if your [[SRD:Casting Spells#Caster Level|caster level]] is not high enough. For example, should a 15th level [[SRD:Wizard|wizard]] cast this spell, his effective [[SRD:Casting Spells#Caster Level|caster level]] would be 5, allowing him to cast up to third-level spells.

''Material Component:'' A ''[[SRD:Bull's Strength|potion of bull’s strength]]'', which you drink (and whose effects are subsumed by the spell effects).
