Mystyk's Major Backlash
(Abjuration, Invocation/Evocation)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  1 round per level
Casting Time:  8
Area of Effect:  The caster
Saving Throw:  None

This spell is identical to Mystyk's improved backlash except for the following: when the wizard is hit in melee, any damage suffered is halved; in addition, if the wizard makes a successful saving throw versus rod, staff or wand, the attack inflicts no damage at all. Also, the energy bursts inflict 10d6 points of damage on any attacker; a successful saving throw versus spell reduces this damage by half.
The material component for this spell is the same as that for Mystyk's backlash except the gem must be worth at least 800 gp.
