Magic Resistance

Regular; Resisted by Will+Magery
For each point of energy put into the spell (up to 5), the subject’s magic resistance goes up by 2 if he is willing, or by 1 if he tried to resist. This MR works like normal Magic Resistance (M, Sup) when spells are cast on the subject. The subject can still cast spells, but at a penalty equal to the MR. Spells already affecting the subject (or already cast by him) continue unchanged. He can use potions and magical items normally.

Duration: 1 minute.
Cost: 1 to 5 to cast. Same cost to maintain.
Time to cast: 3 seconds.
Prerequisites: Magery 1 and one or more spells from each of seven
different colleges.
