Mental Dispel

When cast on a character or creature, this spell will have one of the following effects:

1. Cause the target to lose any prepared spell, along with the appropriate number of mana points for that spell. Losing a spell in this manner will sometimes cause the target to suffer nerve damage.

2. Cause a magical effect in force on the target to be canceled. The mana cost for this version of the spell can be reduced by one point for every 75 skill bonus in the Mental Mana Control skill.

3. Cause the target to lose a portion, or all, of their mana.

When cast on an item, this spell has a chance to drain charges, dispel any stored spells, or remove some other special quality.

There is no warding check for this spell. The effect of casting on a character or creature is in the order given above. When cast on items, the chance of failure and the results depend on the level of the caster and the level and type of stored spell or enchantment.

Combining this magic with either Spirit Dispel (119) or Elemental Dispel (417) has been known to cause negative and potentially dangerous effects on the target.
