Suspend Spell

Regular; Resisted by subject spell 
Temporarily nullify any one ongoing spell. The caster must know the spell he suspends. Suspend Spell does not affect magic items, but can affect spells cast through one. Spells that can only be removed by Remove Curse cannot be suspended; use Suspend Curse for those. 
Suspend Spell is cast at the lower of the user’s Suspend Spell skill and his skill with the spell being suspended. When the suspension expires, the suspended spell “picks up where it left off” and resumes operation. If the subject spell is maintained, its caster will automatically know it is being suspended. Otherwise, roll against Perception + Magery - 3 – distance is not a factor.

Duration: 1 minute. 
Cost: 1/10 that of the spell suspended to cast, not counting bonuses the other caster may have received for high skill (round up). Same cost to maintain. 
Prerequisites: Magery 1 and Counterspell.

Item 
Staff, wand, or jewelry. Usable only by mages.  
Energy cost to create: 500.
