Interference causes the lesser spirits in the area to interfere with the target's offensive and defensive abilities. Interference will apply a base 15 spiritual target defense (TD) penalty, increased with training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning, as well as a penalty to attack strength (AS) equal to 15 + 1 for every four levels of the target and a penalty to defensive strength (DS) equal to half the AS penalty.

Interference will automatically succeed when cast on a target no more than 10 levels above you. Against a bounty boss or ascension creature, it can succeed up to 20 levels above you, with a 10% failure chance per level difference over 10. Failing due to the failure chance will grant a stacking 20% decrease to the failure chance.

There is also a chance that the target's spell casting will be hindered somewhat depending on the caster's knowledge of the Major Spiritual spell circle.
