Lower Resistance, Icewind Dale 1

Lower Resistance IWD1

Lower Resistance is an IWD arcane spell in Black Isle's cRPG of 2000, Icewind Dale 1.

• Lower Resistance (Abjuration,Alteration)
• Level 5 Arcane Spells IWD
• Range: Visual sight of caster
• Duration: 1 round/level
• Casting Time: 5
• Area of Effect: Target creature
• Saving Throw: None
• When cast upon a target creature this spell will lower the magic resistance of this creature by 10% + 1% per level of the caster. There is no saving throw vs. this spell and magic resistance is ignored. For example if a creature has 60% magic resistance and this spell is cast on it by a 15th level mage then its magic resistance would be lowered by 25% automatically. This effect is cumulative for each casting of this spell. If this spell was cast upon this same creature again the creatures magic resistance would be 60% - 25% (initial casting) - 25% (current casting) which would leave the creature with 10% magic resistance after both spells have been cast. This spell will last until the spell duration expires. Something to note is that this spell is not affected by Dispel Magic, once it has been cast there is no way to cancel the effects until the spell expires.
