Wizard Spells
Level 8

Spectre's Diligent Evocation (Enchantment)

Range: 0

Components: V, S. M

Duration: Permemant until expended

Casting Time: 1 round

Area of Effect: 1 diamond

Saving Throw: Special

Creator: Christopher Ahrens (ahrenscj@yahoo.com)

This spell channels any other spell of 8th level or lower into a receptacle of diamond, specially prepared and etched with runes of eldritch power. The spell imbued is focused and energies are added upon it. The now focused spell can be released by anyone knowing the command word, though it need not be said aloud, with a Casting Time of 1.

The enhanced magic will do one of the following in order of priority:

1. The enhanced magics are so laden with extra energy that the focused magic will function in a dead-magic zone, anti-magic shell, anti-magic ray, etc. normally.

2. If cast outside such magic-dampening areas its extra energy is enough to shatter a Wall of Force, Globe of Invulnerability, or similar barrier of 8th level or lower.

3. If no such barrier exists, the spell reaches it target and negates any magic resistance.

4. If the creature has no magic resistance, it saves at -4 to the spell.

This is not without harm to the caster however. Unless the first situation exists to immediately dampen the enhanced spell, the caster suffers a 'magic burn' from the extra energies equal to twice the enhanced spell's level and he must save vs. Spells or be unable to cast the next round.

The material component is an etched diamond worth at least 5000 gold pieces which is destroyed in the process.

This spell was developed in hind sight after the mage suffer poorly against a clan of beholders and a fang dragon in a dead-magic zone.
