Essence-Spirit Spells
Magical Barrier
Power Rank: 15
Range: 0'
Duration: See Below
Area of Effect: See Below
Casting Time: 1 day
Defense: None
This spell was not originally developed by Rayche but over the years he has been regarded as the author. A Magical Barrier is a very powerful spell that requires a number of high powered spellcasters to sacrifice a great portion of themselves in order to cast it. When a Magical Barrier is cast it creates an invisible magical barrier that covers a very large area many over 10 miles in diameter. This barrier keeps all beings that are spoken of within the casting of the spell from being able to pass through the barrier. The barrier is used to keep magical, divine and jinhu attacks from entering the area. The spell requires 10, 40th rank or greater spellcasters to know and cast the spell.
Each caster must sacrifice 10 fatigue permanently in the casting in order to create the barrier. It further requires a total of 100 fatigue per year that the spell is to endure, this fatigue lost is permanent. Should a caster sacrifice his life in doing so, the barrier gains the spellcasters rank multiplied by 10 in number of additional years that the Magical Barrier will last. Most of the fatigue used to maintain the barrier is often stored in a Stone of Inethril.
During the casting each spellcaster must speak aloud the name or type of creatures that the barrier is to repel. Each spellcaster must sacrifice an additional 20 permanent fatigue for each type of creature or individual that the barrier will repel. The creatures or individuals must be specific, a caster cannot say dragons, but must say earth dragons of which ever clan, or undead skeletons. Spellcasters can also specify individuals, such as Jomo Semb the Dark Spellcaster of Iron Keep.
A Magical Barrier must be maintained by a yearly ritual of casting where spellcasters are required to rename all those that are to be repelled by the barrier, during this each caster must once again sacrifice fatigue points, fortunately only 10 Fatigue are required for this. Many times the names of those to be repelled are carved into the surface of the Stone of Inethril.
