Found this on a scroll about a half hour ago, and someone else found it in a wand... looks like something new.

You're supposed to be giving those out to House applicants, Kerl... Not finding them yourself.

It was listed as Mystic Impedance under the "spell active" verb when we were waving the wand around. Any idea what it does?

Here are shots of it starting and melting:

>>A dizzying array of golden runes surround and suffuse you before being absorbed into your body.

>>Golden runes enscribe themselves upon your body, quickly fading into nothingness.

In spell active it shows up as Mystic ImpedAnce. Typo in the spell name.

And it didn't last more than a couple minutes tops.

If it's found in a wand, I'd assume it's offensive in nature. I'd love to do some testing with it.

Didn't seem to actually stick when waved at someone else. It did however seem to work when cast on a critter. Don't have a paste handy though.

I've got a couple clips for spell targeting.

I'll note that I'd typed 'wave my wand' with no target and it automatically went for the rolton. It may well be an offensive spell.



You wave your amber wand at a rolton.
1d100: 95 + Modifiers: 143 == 238

A rolton is awakened by your attack!
A dizzying array of golden runes surround and suffuse a rolton before being absorbed into his body.



Fjalar waves a smooth amber wand at Graysun.
A dizzying array of runes surround Graysun. With a sudden flash, they shoot off in every direction, leaving Graysun unchanged.



You wave your amber wand at yourself.
1d100: 80 + Modifiers: 143 == 223

A dizzying array of golden runes surround and suffuse you before being absorbed into your body.

Has anyone checked their CS while under the influence of this? It sounds like the opposite of Mystic Focus to me, so I would guess it is a CS penalty when casting under the influence of it.

1720 - Arcane Barrier is out too, both in a rubbable prism and on scrolls. Seemed to block all offensive spells for a short duration.

Just did some testing with Kerl's infused 1708 scroll. It seems that mystic impedance prevents the target from casting any spells over a certain level for the entire duration (3 minutes) with no visible warding check. The level of spell affected is determined by the casters arcane symbols ranks (casting from a scroll, at least).

At 30 AS ranks, it prevented any spells of 15th level or higher from being cast.
At 72 AS ranks, it prevented any spells of 12th level or higher from being cast.
At 101 AS ranks, it blocked any spells of 11th level or higher.
At 202 AS ranks, the target could not cast any spell of 7th level or higher.

Pretty awesome.

There seems to be a caster/target level check, too. A level 42 caster couldn't affect me (lvl 100) with it.

Miriam Webster tells me it's correct.

>>And it didn't last more than a couple minutes tops.

It lasts 3.
