Treasure: Magebane Shackles

Treasure: Magebane Shackles

Mages require magical countermeasures. Magebane shackles deprive the shackled mage of all of his magical abilities, making him much less dangerous.

Antimagic Touch

Keywords: Resisted (Will).

Full Cost: 43 points.

Casting Roll: Will. Use DX or unarmed combat skill to hit.

Range: Touch.

Duration: 3 minutes.

This spell lets the caster neutralize all of his victim’s magical abilities. He must touch the subject. This requires an Attack maneuver in melee combat. On a hit, roll a Quick Contest of Will. The victim gets a bonus equal to his best Talent (Sorcery Talent or Magery).

If the caster wins, he neutralizes his victim’s powers for 3 minutes. If the caster loses or ties, there’s no effect – but critical failure on the caster’s Will roll cripples this spell for 1d hours.

Once the caster has neutralized a given subject, he can’t affect him again until his powers recover. Multiple attackers can use Antimagic Touch or similar neutralizing abilities on the same target. Use only the longest duration; their abilities don’t “add” in any way.

This spell only deprives the subject of the magical abilities, it doesn’t affect Talent.

Statistics: Neutralize Magic (Fixed Duration, +0%; Sorcery, -15%) [43].
