Description: Mordenkainen's disjunction attempts to strip all magical effects from a single target. It can also target a group of creatures, attempting to remove the two most powerful spell effects from each creature. To remove an effect, the caster makes a dispel check of 1d20, +1 per caster level (to a maximum of +40) against a DC of 11 + the spell effect's caster level. In addition to its ability to dispel effects, this spell also strips a single enemy of up to 6 magical defenses or a group of enemies of two spell protections each. Finally, the spell will lower the SR of all creatures within the area of effect by 10.

Affected spells include: spell mantles, globes of invulnerability, stoneskins, premonition, protection from elements, ghostly and ethereal visage, mage armor, shadow shield and elemental shield.

[edit] Notes

• This spell combines the dispel and breach lines of spells, improving upon both greater dispelling and greater spell breach.
  • The breach aspect occurs first, with either two (for the area of effect) or six (for the single target) spells' effects removed automatically (unless the creature is a friend). There is no check for this aspect. See breach for the full list of spells that can be stripped in this manner, and the order in which they are removed.
  • The dispelling aspect of this spell occurs second, and has the potential to remove all remaining spell effects (from any creature). While the dispelling aspect is not limited in how many spell effects can be removed, there is a dispel check made for each spell effect.
• The duration of the lowered spell resistance is ten rounds.
• Monk spell resistance gained from the diamond soul ability cannot be lowered by this spell.
• When used as an area-of-effect spell, this will also attempt to remove other (persistent) area of effect spells.
• This spell does not have a somatic component, so it can be cast while wearing full armor and shield, ignoring arcane spell failure.

[edit] Previous versions

• Prior to version 1.66, this spell capped the caster level at 20.
