Otiluke's Resilient Sphere, Icewind Dale 1

Otiluke's Resilient Sphere IWD1

Otiluke's Resilient Sphere is an IWD arcane spell in Black Isle's cRPG of 1999, Icewind Dale 1. Otiluke's Resilient Sphere is a cheesy spell in most AD&D cRPGs in that it makes the recipient completely impervious to damage. The downside of the recipient being unable to move is barely an issue when one considers the tanking power afoot coupled with extra-dumb AI.

• Otiluke's Resilient Sphere (Alteration)
• Level 4 Arcane Spells IWD
• Range: Sight of Caster
• Duration: 7 rounds
• Casting Time: 1
• Area of Effect: 1 creature
• Saving Throw: Neg.
• When this spell is cast, the result is a globe of shimmering force that encloses the subject creature (if it fails to successfully save vs. spell). The resilient sphere will contain its subject for the duration of the spell. The sphere is completely immune to all damage; the only method of removing the sphere is by the use of a Dispel Magic spell. Hence the creature caught inside the globe is completely safe from all attacks, but at the same time is completely unable to affect the outside world.
