*Shear was a sorcery spell originally. The version the Moon Mage Guild teaches is a modified pattern with the sorcerous mix taken out, but it's close enough that the globe still has the appearance of a sorcery: It's a spell that conjures a strange semblance of fire, that violently reacts to spells crossing its interface, and was refined by someone who later turned out to be a very learned Necromancer. |
|||
*Backlash effect works on both beneficial spells as well as harmful spells. |
|||
*Since your entire [[:Category:Psychic Projection Spellbook|Psychic Projection]] book is disabled while Shear is in effect, use [[Dazzle]] or [[Whole Displacement]] to disable or stun instead. |
|||
*Other barrier spells such as [[Sphere of Protection]] and [[Ethereal Shield]] seem to be very effective at wearing down a shear as well. |
|||
*[[:Category:Bard Enchantes|Bardic Enchantes]] currently have the effect of wearing down a Shear without causing it to lash at the Bard. Can either be annoying or useful if you want the shear gone. |
|||
*Spell is replaceable, so if you really want the shear gone, you can replace it will a minimum prep snap cast for a very short duration. |
|||
*Shear will not activate for Area of Effect spells such as [[Chain Lightning]]. This is not a bug. |
|||
*Appears in the room {{tt|LOOK}} as: <caster> who is in a globe of blue fire. |
|||
*Will negate the effect of a [[Item:Black shadowsilk cloak|shadowsilk cloak]], but not all the time (Unclear if this is on purpose to allow others to look at you and see the globe in your description, or a bug). |
