Blink gives the caster a chance to avoid physical or bolt attacks that would otherwise hit caster. Its function is similar to Fasthr's Reward (115) but works on AS/DS instead of CS/TD attacks.

The target has a chance of getting a second opportunity to avoid physical or bolt attacks that otherwise would have hit him by teleporting a short distance away (within the same room). The percent chance to get a second attack roll is 25 + seed 1 of ranks in Mental Lore, Transference. The most favorable of the two rolls will be kept.

Duration

The Blink spell dissipates on a successful avoidance.

Blink has a stackable duration of 2 hours + 60 sec per Minor Mental rank when self-cast. It has a two minute refreshable duration when cast on others.

Initial Cast

>pre 1215
You fold your hands and deeply intone a sonorous mantra, focusing your mind upon the Blink spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast
You gesture.
A momentary eruption of starlit darkness engulfs you.  As the shadow thins, double images of the world sway dizzyingly around you before regaining solidity.

Your head rings like a struck bell as darkness explodes across your field of vision.  You find yourself moved several feet from your original position!

  A clean miss.
Darkness punctuated by a constellation of starry pinpoints wells up to the surface of your skin and splinters away with a sound like shattering crystal.
