Notes
- The backlash effect causes nerve damage which caps at 'severe twitching' and a lengthy stun.
- Backlash effect is triggered on any spell - beneficial or harmful.
- Since your entire Psychic Projection book disabled while Shear is in effect, use Dazzle or Whole Displacement to disable or stun instead.
- 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.
- Other barrier spells such as Sphere of Protection and Ethereal Shield seem to be very effective at wearing down a shear as well.
- Shear will not activate for Area of Effect spells and this is not considered a bug. Chain Lightning can and will still bone you while saying filthy things about your mother. Sorry.
