Description¶
When this spell is cast it launches a massive attack on an enemy wizard's spell defenses. The target's Magic Resistance will be lowered by 10% + 1% per level of the caster. Next pierce shield will cancel one spell protection of any level. For example if this spell was cast by a 15th level
wizard the target creature would lose 25% Magic Resistance from its current total reducing it to 0 if less than that remains as well as cancelling one spell protection if the mage currently has one. The list of spells that this includes is: Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Spell Turning, Spell Deflection, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, Globe Of Invulnerability, Spell Turning, Spell Shield, and Spell Trap. 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. It cannot be dispelled.
