Interdiction

As a master of channeling mana, the Cleric is able to attempt an Interdiction between the target and the flows of mana, causing their mana to trickle away.
Duration
Duration of this spell is based on the caster's knowledge of the Cleric Base Spell list, lasting 5 seconds per spell known in that list.
Damage
Unique among disabling spells, this spell strips the mana of the target at quick intervals (approximately every 16 seconds). The amount of mana drained is truncated, and based off the following:
- Mana Drained = (Ranks of Cleric Base Spells) + (Endroll - 100) / 5
That is, every 5 points of successful warding yields an additional 1 mana drained per pulse of the spell.
Application
This spell is only effective against BCS critters and other players. However, it's ability to rapidly remove mana makes it tremendously effective at neutralizing enemy spellcasters. Since it drains mana rather than preventing spellcasting, however, it allows the target one last spell - before blowing their nerves in what is usually a dramatic fashion.
