Mystic Impedance impedes the target's ability to cast high-level spells. The total number of spell levels restricted in this manner is based on the caster's Arcane Symbols or Magic Item Use skill, depending on the method of activation. The top-level restriction is calculated according to (20 - summation seed 1 of (caster's ranks/2)). For example, a caster with 50 Magic Item Use ranks waving a smooth amber wand at a target will cause it to be unable to cast spells of level 14 or higher.

The mechanic works similar to Sounds (607) - auto success up to a certain margin above the caster's level, then there's a % chance of failure until you get far above the level of the caster, then auto failure.
