Versus a player or creature target, the Song of Unravelling will dispel a targeted spell or random spell if available. A penalty to the target's warding attempt is based on the Bard's Bard Base ranks. Targeted attempts do not receive the full benefit of this bonus, are more difficult to achieve versus spiritual spells, and are progressively harder against higher level spells. Arcane Decoy (1701) makes targeted attempts even more difficult, and will be targeted first if Song of Unravelling is untargeted.
If no spells are active on the targeted player or creature, the song will try to drain mana from the target. The amount of mana drained per attempt is based on the singer's Bard Base ranks. The amount of mana recovered is based on the singer's Bard Base ranks and Mental Mana Control skill.
Versus a magic item, the song will drain charges from the item and convert to mana. The same factors apply. Mana from non-elemental sources will be less efficient than from elemental sources.
Unlike other mana draining spells, Song of Unravelling allows you to exceed your normal maximum mana. Caution is advised, though, as reaching 150% of your normal maximum will result in losing control with attendant grave consequences.
Renewal Cost
4 Mana Points (MP), adjusted for the target's spell circle and spell level.
This song is not auto-renewable. If the song is dispelling random spells or draining mana from a character/creature/object, it may be manually renewed for the duration of the song and will continue to target the original target. Unravelling targeting spells from a target is not renewable in any form.
Messaging
An example of Song of Unravelling being used against an adventurer:
A siren begins singing a sweet song.
A siren focuses a soothing melody towards you!
CS: +402 - TD: +348 + CvA: +15 + d100: +35 == +104
Warding failed!
You hear a strange resonating hum, and you sense one of your spells slipping away!
The white light leaves you.
The very powerful look leaves you.
With great skill, the siren removes one of the chords from her harmony while maintaining the symmetry of those that remain.
