(See also: Isolate Templar (Wizard Spell))
This is a specialized, offensive version of antimagic shell, designed to affect one humanoid creature. When this invisible field surrounds a templar, that templar is cut off from his or her sorcerer-king with regard to acquiring priest spells. If the templar is maintaining a spell, such as wall of fire, then that spell automatically ends as the supporting magical energies are cut off. The templar is thrown back on his or her own resources, including magical items, normal weaponry, and any psionic powers possessed. The templar retains spells granted but not yet cast.
Unless the sorcerer-king is watching the individual templar or a messenger reveals what's happening. the sorcerer-king won't realize that this spell is in operation. Only a sorcerer-king can cast a dispel magic spell powerful enough to get rid of an isolate templar spell. The spell cannot be cast directly on a sorcerer-king to cut off all his templars from spells.
The material component is a gemstone of at least 1,000 gp value.
Druids can use isolate templar, though in their version the magical field is visible and composed of either violet mist, flame, blown sand, or steam, depending on the druid's elemental sphere.
Notes: Very rare spell in the Dark Sun setting. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
