Wizard Spells
With this spell the caster can exclude an individual from the written spell's effects or make it more potent. Once named the altered spell is forever changed. If excluded, the named doesn't exist to the caster. A person excluded from a Wall of Stone spell could walk right through it and a excluded Fireball would explode and burn around him. Of course this doesn't protect him from the same spell from an unaltered source. If the spell is focused, the victim receives saves at -2, receives a +1 damage and lowers any magic resistance by 20%. Either way the recipient of the spell must be known and a garment or personal object included in the casting. Any writing altered retains its alteration if copied or scribed (i.e., An altered scroll is copied to a mage's spell book. Later that mage scribes it as a gift to another. Each is tainted with the alteration.) Note: This alteration of the spell is not obvious and well hidden. It can be detected but only if specifically sought and a successful Spellcraft check is made. This was another spell to ensure the dark mage's apprentice's loyalty. All potentially offensive magics given were altered to exclude him. INaddition the dark mage, altered his own hostile magics to prevent him from getting caught in their area of effect or a thief using his own magic against him. |
