This is basically one of those piss-off-the-fighter-subclass spells. What happens is that, suddenly, at the moment of casting, the wizard is capable of casting half his level of spell levels. Because of the difficulty of this spell, the wizard must save versus spell or blow it big time. All spells cast with quicksilver are thus subject to special failure. DM's imagination or a nice spell failure table are required. The material component for this spell is a drop of mercury.
