Lesser Spelldream (Wizard Spell)

This spell is only effective upon sleeping beings. It allows the caster to remove any spells of 4th level or less already in effect on the recipient (such as charm person or change self). The spell effects are unraveled slowly, without doing harm to the caster of the spell-dream or the recipient, and without triggering any spelltraps or defensive effects. This occurs during an enforced slumber, which can be bro­ken by any physical attack on the recipient (such an event will jolt the recipient into instant alertness). This enforced slumber is accompanied by dreams, and the caster of this spell can choose one image per level to feature in these dreams (typically, the caster shapes a sequence of images showing the recipient how they came to be dispelled, or why the caster has chosen to remove those spells).
While a spelldream is unfolding in the recip­ient's mind, the target creature cannot be con­tacted or influenced by any other being. Thus, a wizard can pass information to a recipient who is under magical thought surveillance without risk of the information being detected.
When the spell is cast, the recipient is allowed a saving throw vs. spell with a -4 penalty. A successful saving throw negates the spell, and the intended recipient instantly awakens.
Notes: Common for Dream mages; otherwise very rare. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
