Description¶
When this spell is cast upon a target creature there will be two major effects. The first is that the creature's Magic Resistance will be lowered by 1% per level of the caster. The second is that it will cancel one spell protection of 8th level or lower on the creature. For example, if a 15th-level wizard cast the spell, the target would lose 15% Magic Resistance from its current total, reducing it to 0 if less than that remains, as well as cancelling one 8th level or lower spell protection. The list of spells that this includes is: Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Spell Turning, Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, Minor Globe Of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, and Globe Of Invulnerability. Magic Resistance does not affect this spell, nor do any of the spell protections. The resistance remains lowered for 1 round per level of the caster.
