Interference (212)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The caster of this spell is able to use the spiritual forces to exert influence over the lesser spirits in the immediate area to interfere with the actions of the target person or creature. This interference results in diminished combat abilities.
Interference reduces the target's Target Defense (TD) against Spiritual spells, Attack Strength (AS), and Defensive Strength (DS). The base TD penalty is 15, increased with training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning. The AS penalty is 15 + 1 for every four levels of the target, and the DS penalty is equal to half the AS penalty. In conjunction with those penalties, on applicable targets, spell casting will be hindered somewhat depending on the caster's knowledge of the Major Spiritual spell circle.
Interference will automatically succeed when cast on a target no more than 10 levels above the caster. Against a bounty boss or ascension creature, it can succeed up to 20 levels above, 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 on subsequent casts.
The effect's duration is 60 seconds on creatures and 30 seconds on player characters.
