By means of this spell, the wizard can temporarily suppress the magic resistance emanating from one creature or object, thus allowing other spells and magical effects to have an increased chance of effect. The spell affects one creature or object and the area that its magic resistance protects. For example, this spell can be cast on a paladin wielding a holy sword that provides magic resistance in a 5-foot radius, and the magic resistance can be suppressed in the entire area of effect. If there are multiple sources of magic resistance affecting the same area, this spell will only target one of them.
This spell can suppress up to 5% magic resistance per level of the wizard. Partial effects are possible. For example, if a 10th-level wizard is casting the spell at a creature with 80% magic resistance, that creature's magic resistance will be lowered to 30% while this spell is in effect. Of course, this spell will not go into effect unless the creature fails its magic resistance roll.
The wizard must maintain some concentration in order to preserve the spell's effect. The wizard may not perform any actions except moving at up to half his normal movement rate. If the wizard is successfully attacked, then his concentration is also broken. If concentration is broken, the spell's effects terminate immediately.
The wizard, however, may choose to terminate the spell in a controlled manner, and during the last round before the spell is terminated, the wizard, in addition to moving at up to half his normal movement rate, may also cast one spell whose casting time is up to one round. The target's magic resistance remains lowered when making its resistance check against this spell. Of course, other wizards and devices may also cast spells while the target's magic resistance is lowered, and such magic does not terminate suppress magic resistance.
This spell will totally negate a magic resistance spell if it is successful at suppressing magic resistance of a percentage at least as high as the percentage given by the magic resistance spell. In such a case, concentration by the wizard is not necessary.
