Skill Rules & Full Description
Spell Verbal: "I Pierce the Veil of Force to ...Sever Magic"
Cost: 4 Power Points • Duration: Instant
- This spell destroys the magical link between a character and one of the active spells they have cast. The spell must be cast on the character that is actively controlling the spell. Sever Magic spell can be used against an Enslave, Dominate, Dominate Undead, Command Undead, Wall of Flame, Wall of Force, the undead creation spells, etc. This spell will not end a spell that does not require concentration, for example, in the case of a Dominate spell the character is still dominated and must follow the commands already given. However, spells that do require concentration such as a wall spell will end if the caster is severed from the spell.
- Normal defenses against magic do not work against a Sever Magic spell, it is the link that is affected, not the caster, but an Obscure spell will stop the spell. If the caster has multiple magical links, the caster of Sever Magic spell must specify which link is being severed; otherwise the target caster chooses a link to drop.
