Description[]
This spell is similar to the 6th-level spell Spell Deflection, which causes the spells cast against the wizard to be absorbed and consumed. This spell affects a total of 4 spell levels, including spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilities, but excludes area effects that are not centered directly upon the wizard and area effects that are stationary, such as Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud.
This spell will only affect up to 4th-level spells, but as long as there are levels remaining, the spell will be absorbed. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the wizard, the spell will be absorbed while canceling the spell deflection.
This spell will not protect the caster from Dispel Magic, but it will not be dispelled by Dispel Magic either.
Notes[]
- Although name and description already exist in the game files of the original Icewind Dale, the spell itself was only implemented in the Enhanced Edition.
