Aiming at the Target

This spell is an outgrowth of the wu Jen's training in meditation and their ki powers. It is cast by calming and clearing the mind through carefully controlled and strict breathing exercises. This action releases the energy of the spell.

When cast, this allows the wu jen to concentrate on a single action regardless of other actions. It is one of only two spells a wu jen can cast without breaking the concentration required to maintain another spell (finding the center also has this property). A wu jen could cast phantasmal force on one round and aiming at the target the next without breaking the concentration they need to maintain the phantasmal force.

Once cast, it allows the wu jen to move normally, receive their normal defensive adjustment for Dexterity, suffer damage, and make successful saving throws without breaking their concentration. The mind of the wu jen is focused on the spell they are concentrating on, yet they are aware of events occurring around themselves.

The duration of the spell is two turns or until they stop concentrating on the first spell.

Notes: Restricted to oriental spellcasters and those trained by them. Common in oriental settings; otherwise very rare.
