DESCRIPTION

You open a rift to the shadow plane and attempt to divert some of the energy of an oncoming spell off the your current plane. You transform the spell into a quasi-real illusion.

The target of or part of the area of the spell must be within range. Creatures that would be damaged take only half as much damage.

To affect the spell, you must make a caster level check (1d20 + your caster level) and compare it to DC 9 + the target spell’s caster level. On a failure the spell is too powerful for you to draw into the shadow plane.
