Mind Mantle (Wizard Spell)

This spell creates a cloaking web of random mental impulses that screens the mind of a sin­gle protected being against all mind reading and influencing spells of 5th level or less (both wizardly enchantment/charm school magics and all priests' spells of the charm sphere). The being is also immune to the effects of magical items that duplicate the aforementioned spells, and to all psionic telepathic devotions.
Psionic telepathic sciences (such as the five commonly-known psionic attack forms) can affect a being protected by a mind mantle, but their contact cost is increased by half (e.g. from “1” to “1.5”), rounding upwards. Also, if the protected being is psionic and uses ejection to force away a psionic attacker, no side effects are suffered.
A mind mantle is invisible and unaffected by subsequent spellcasting on the part of a pro­tected being. The caster can end it instantly by silent act of will, and a successful dispel magic will also destroy it.
Notes: Restricted to Alhoon (undead illithids); common.
