Mental Strength (Reversible)

This spell enables the shukenja to mentally fortify himself or others. The recipient of the spell gains a +4 bonus to saving throws against spells and magical effects involving will force – illusions, enchantments, charms, hypnosis, suggestions, fear, possession, telepathic attacks, and so on. In addition, when struck by mental attacks that do not normally allow a saving throw (pacify, and so on), the recipient is allowed a saving throw of 17 or better to avoid the effects of the spell.

The reverse of this spell, mental weakness, has the opposite effect – lowering the saving throw against mental attacks by -4. The subject must be touched, and no saving throw is allowed.

The material component is the tail of a fox.
