Delay Shifting


Delay Shifting (Alteration)

Wizard--Level 5

Reversible
Range: 10 yds/level
Components: VSM
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Up to 8 creatures in a 60-ft. radius
Saving Throw: neg.

This spell works in every way like the 3rd level spell, Delay Regeneration (see previous page), except that it affects creatures capable of any sort of "plane shifting" or "phasing". This includes all types of plane shifting (including innate abilities and those magically induced by spells or magic items, such as an Amulet of the Planes), assuming gaseous form in any way, use of Astral-related spells or magic, and any other kind of ability or magic involved in leaving ones current plane of existence. While under the influence of this spell, such creatures will find it impossible to "shift" for the duration of the spell.

The reverse of this spell, Enhance Shifting, also operates exactly like its lower level counterpart, Enhance Regeneration. See this spells description for complete details. Of course, the former only works on "shifting" creatures.

The material components for this spell, regardless of which form (normal or reversible) is cast, are a small lock of hair from a creature capable of innate "plane shifting" and a sheet of platinum (at least 500 g.p. value) formed into a small bracelet at the time of casting.
