You are now in a guarded stance.
>
You focus your thoughts while chanting the mystical phrase for Bone Shatter...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at an Ithzir seer.
You concentrate intently on an Ithzir seer, and a pulse of pearlescent energy ripples toward her!
CS: +461 - TD: +404 + CvA: +19 + d100: +90 == +166
Warding failed!
The Ithzir seer shudders with sporadic convulsions as pearlescent ripples envelop her body.
The Ithzir seer is crushed for 65 points of damage!
... 40 points of damage!
Right arm is torn from shoulder!
The seer's crystal-tipped staff falls to the ground.
... 35 points of damage!
Massive blow to left hand crushing it to pulp!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>

The world fades around you into a sea of snow falling out of a black sky. More snow vanishes beneath your paws as you run, staggering, through the darkness. Your left hind leg has been wounded, but there is no time to stop and lap the blood -- your pursuers are behind, and you stumble onward, running into the darkness.... The vision ends, and you are once more fully yourself, though somewhat shaken for the experience.

>
A greater construct swings a massive arm at you!
AS: +447 vs DS: +563 with AvD: +40 + d100 roll: +84 = +8
A clean miss.

Empaths and clerics got it.

Only clerics got this.

Rossoloff: "The world vanishes in a burst of starry white radiance, and, at the center of that radiance, you sense the spirits of the world. Like snow, the spirits drift through all things, swirling and shifting... but you find suddenly that you can control their shifting. You sense that you could have the power to call them to you, and to send them out again, setting them swirling around any target as you please. You hear the full-throated, heavy snarl of a tiger... and then the vision is gone again, and you are left blinking pained afterimages away."

The caster of this spell is able to use the spiritual forces to exert influence over the Lesser Spirits in the immediate area to interfere with the actions of the target person or creature. This interference results in diminished combat abilities. Due to the refocused energies of the spell, the target's initial warding defense of the spell is lower than normal warding for spirit spells.

If a target fails its warding, it will now suffer a higher penalty to its offensive prowess as well as a penalty on its ability to defend certain types of attacks. The penalty to the Attack Strength (AS) is twice of the penalty to the Defense Strength (DS). In conjunction with those penalties, on applicable targets, spell casting will be hindered somewhat depending on the casters knowledge of the Major Spirit circle.

But with every target in the room.

It basically makes it easier to bind creatures. The AS/DS difference is negiilible.

It's unofficial name is Mass Uselessness.

It is probably the worst idea of spell implementation I've seen in a long time.

1) All mass spells are being compressed with the single-cast spell slots with various requirements for the mass version.
2) Interference is a shitty spell to begin with...

Uliq really fucked up this time.

Uliq has sucked for a long time. That's why so many capped clerics have sold out.

I can't believe they actually wasted a spell slot with this.
