Description¶
When this spell is cast, it launches a massive attack on an enemy wizard’s spell defenses. First, the target’s Magic Resistance will be lowered by 10% + 1% per level of the caster and remain lowered for 1 round per level of the caster. This cannot be dispelled. Second, Pierce Shield will cancel one spell protection of any level. For example, if this spell were cast by a 15th-level wizard, the target creature would lose 25% Magic Resistance and one spell protection if it currently has one.
Spells affected by Pierce Shield include 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.
