Isolate Templar

(See also: Isolate Templar (Priest Spell))

This is a specialized, offensive version of antimagic shell, designed in the Dark Sun setting to affect one humanoid creature. When this invisible field surrounds a templar, that templar is automatically cut off from his sorcerer-king in regard to acquiring priestly 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 own resources, including magical items, normal weaponry, and whatever psionic powers he has. The templar still retains those spells granted but not yet cast. Unless the sorcerer-king is watching the individual templar or a messenger tells him what's happening, the sorcerer-king will not 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 successfully cast on a sorcerer-king to cut off all his templars from spells.

The material component of this spell is a gemstone of at least 1,000 gp value.

Notes: Very rare for a spellcaster from the Dark Sun setting; virtually unknown elsewhere.
