Breach Defenses (Wizard Spell)

The bane of magical creatures, breach defenses temporarily negates the magical defenses of a crea­ture otherwise immune to normal weapons. Once drained of its magical protection, the creature becomes vulnerable to normal weapons and its Armor Class is worsened by 2 (from AC 4 to AC 6, for example) to a maximum of AC 10. Under this insidious spell's power, wraiths become more tan­gible, iron golems soften, and lycanthropes must fear more than silver weapons. Breach defenses has no effect on a creature's magic resistance or saving throws, nor does it remove natural or magical immunities to certain forms of attack (for example, a salamander or baatezu's resistance to fire). It sim­ply drains a creature's magical defenses, whether it normally would suffer damage only from +1 or bet­ter magical weapons or from +3 or better weapons.
Wizards under the effects of a wraithform spell also subject to this spell's effects. The material components are one marble-sized ball of iron and one of glass.
