Area
The reverse of Drain Mana (VH); restores mana to a dead zone. The area gains a mana equal to the “average” mana level of the surrounding area, regardless of what it might have been before.
Cost, time, and prerequisites are the same as for Drain Mana, but there is no risk of losing Magery.
Area
Remove all mana from an area, leaving it permanently “dead” to magic. Spells do not work there, and magic cannot sense anyone or anything in a no-mana zone; magical spells end, and magical items do not function until they are removed from the area.
This spell is used to create areas in which mages, magical creatures, and magical objects can safely be confined or hidden. A no-mana zone stays stable with respect to the earth, but not to objects. Thus, if you make the inside of a box mana-dead, when you move the box, the dead space will stay where it was, rather than moving with the box.
A critical failure with this spell costs the caster one level of Magery!
