This impressed spell increases the backlash of an
opponent's spell castings. To cast the spell, the mage mimics the casting of
another spell, one from which he usually takes backlash. As he pantomimes the effect
of the backlash, the magician casts cast lasher. To be effective the magician
must take some backlash when casting the spell, as this is the contagion. The
caster controls the effect of the spell. If the casting total is high enough
that he would take no backlash, the mage may reduce the casting total and the
effect to a level where he takes backlash. When released, the caster generates
an alteration magic total that must exceed the target character's Dexterity
or dodge to hit him. As the effect value has already been
set, do not add the bonus number from the targeting roll to the effect value.
Compare the effect value is compared to the target's highest magic skill value.
Read the result points through the Power Push table. The final result points is
the increased backlash the target character takes when casting spells. The
magician controls the duration of cast lasher.
