Description
You don an eyepatch, occluding a portion of your eyesight. You begin this Great Work, contemplating the very idea of sight, perception, awareness, and connection. As you have broken your own field of view, you consider foes in your line of sight, to whom you have line of effect, and if they are within range as above, you Occlude their ability to see, to affect the world, in a most direct and terrible way.
As you complete this True Dweomer, choose targets as described above. Each foe is allowed a saving throw against a DC as noted above. If they fail this saving throw, then any time they make any sort of single target attack, with melee attacks or ranged attacks, they make one less such attack. If they make an attack which is Area of Effect, the caster of this True Dweomer may choose one creature that would normally have been affected, and that creature is not affected, as long as at least one other creature IS affected. If they make an attack with a multi-target ability, the caster of this True Dweomer may choose one such target and they receive no damage or other effects. The minimum number of foes that can be affected by an AOE or a multi-target attack is one, always. In addition, they are susceptible to the Synergy detailed below.
If they make their saving throw, the caster of this True Dweomer may only negate one attack made by each enemy, and the defensive magic becomes too weak to continue. However, they are still fully affected by the Synergy detailed below, and the dual charge endures until the end of the encounter unless it is overwritten.
Synergy: While they carry the Dual charge laid by this Vis Viva, all foes are at risk of a Synergy. If that charge is overwritten, the Occlusion tears itself free, splitting their perceptions wide open. Creatures which suffer this Synergy take (Strata 2 damage): 1d6+8 points of damage per character level (max 35d6+280 at character level 35) points of either Rugosic (physical, uncommon) damage or Psychic (energy, uncommon) damage, at the choice of the caster.This spell lays a dual charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell instead lays a dual charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have a dual charge, a divine charge, or an arcane charge, may choose only one of these effects to keep. Dual charges are treated as both an arcane and a divine charge, and a creature may only ever have a single arcane charge and divine charge present on them at a time.
