Potion: Mind Bar

Materials

strips of Bugbear head + spores of Yellow Mould

Guideline Purchasing Price: 20GP for a whole Bugbear head (will make ML potions), 25GP for Yellow Mould spores

Spell

Elementalist Mind Bar with a Throw giving a minimum of 50 (for a Level 10 Mind Bar, which is the standard Potion specification approved by the Guild - lesser Throws will give Mind Bars of lesser Levels, as described in the Elementalist Spell Spec., but such Potions are not approved by the Guild and count as non-standard)

Guideline Purchasing Price: 100GP

Effect

  1. Mind Bar provides a complete block on mental Spells and effects, including all Charmer Spells.  It is a 2 way barrier, and therefore user cannot cast Charmer Spells whilst it is in effect.
  2. Note that Casting Thought or Reflex Spells involves a mental effect to communicate with the Elemental, and these will therefore be Barred irrespective of whether the Spell being Cast has a mental effect.
  3. Certain Demon Powers involving mental awareness are also Barred.  For example, AINI is unaware of a conspiracy discussed between two people both of whom are Mind Barred.
  4. Mind Bar also Bars the Faith link to one’s God. This does not necessarily prevent Clerical Requests (other than by Thought or Reflex) if other followers are present and the God is therefore able to hear the Request via the Faith links to them (make a (Ft in God) check for each).

Duration

(non-Extendable) is 9 + d6 min (i.e. 10-15 min)
