Description:	Huldah's Pall is a trickster's spell. It sets up a lattice of magic around its hapless target that drains any attempt to channel mana into a spell pattern! This means that whomever is afflicted by Huldah's Pall will be unable to cast spells for a time, including those already prepared when you cast." "Calling upon this spell's namesake is risky business, so make sure your target really is a spellcaster, or you will be the one afflicted with the curse! One can remove Huldah's Pall from its victim with Uncurse, so remember this if you forget the nature of Huldah!
Effect:	Prevents spellcasting.
Example Messaging:	You gesture, muttering a quiet riddle to invoke Huldah's trickery. A pair of immense ghostly hands sweep forward to grasp a goblin shaman in a translucent embrace! The ghostly hands interlock their wispy fingers, locking themselves tightly around a goblin shaman. Roundtime: 2 sec.
Contest Type:	mind / willpower
Devices/Tattoos:	Blackened fang capped with a ruby teardrop

• If cast during the target's preparation, the spell timer will continue, but the target will be unable to finish whichever pattern they were preparing.
• Can be removed using Uncurse.
