Ending a Desecrate.

[ThorgrimStoneaxe]

While I was reading through the ARB, I found the passage on Desecrate, which stated that a Desecrate is only ended under the following parameters:

This spell will remain in effect as long as the subject’s hands are crossed over the chest and no body damage is taken, or ten minutes, whichever is shorter.

I've seen a lot of Desecrates ended by spells such as Cure Light Wounds and other harmless spells that do not deal damage to body nor impede the concentration of the effect. I'm curious if there is a clarification on that somewhere that I'm missing (a search of the Marshal Questions and ARC forums warranted nothing, nor did the description on Sanctuary or anything else in the ARB) or if Desecrate should not be ended by spells that do not break your concentration or deal damage to your body.

The only reason a Healing spell should break a Desecrate is if the subject takes damage from Healing.

Similarly, a Bind, Web or Confine force your hands down, so those would break a Desecrate as well, even if you can Rip from them.
