Strahd's Baneful Attractor (Wizard Spell)

This spell is the reverse of Hornung's baneful deflector. Of course, the vampire Count chose to name it after himself rather than credit the upstart Hornung. It can be cast upon any creature within 60 yards. A successful saving throw vs. spell negates the spell's effect. Otherwise, the spell forms a hemispherical shell identical in form to the shell of Hornung's baneful deflector. Instead of deflecting spells directed at the target, how­ever, it attracts them. Any spell targeted at an in­dividual within 15 feet of a creature afflicted by Strahd's baneful attractor are redirected to the af­flicted creature. Area-effect and touch spells are not affected. If the redirection causes the spell to exceed its range, then it travels the full distance and fizzles out at the edge of its range.
The material component is a few bits of broken glass.
Notes: Common in the Ravenloft setting; very rare elsewhere. This spell can be researched only on the Demiplane of Dread.
