Sorcerous Backlash
Jump to navigation

A significantly worse outcome than a backfire, a sorcerous backlash is a spell failure that results from infusing a spell pattern with a type of mana other than the one for which it was designed. Some combinations of mana are more dangerous than others because of differences in the way that those types of mana behave. Necromancers have a reduced risk of backlash because of their guild's focus on the arcane.
- Most dangerous combination: Life with Holy or Elemental with Lunar
- Least dangerous combination: Elemental and Life or Lunar and Holy
Effects
Effects are very severe, ranging from bodily dismemberment to complete disintegration.
