Protection Period: Casting Time + p sec - p(p-1)/2

Range: 30d ft -d(d-1)/2

Notes:

  1. Word of Denial Targets a single Being or object.  If the Target fails its st, Word of Denial Counters all Spells and Spell Effects Cast or produced by the Target ("Offensive Spells") during Protection Period, which consists of the casting time of Word of Denial, the rest of the sec of casting if cast in less than a sec, and the immediately following sec.  The Protection Period is extendable by the Variable Parameter as above.  The Casting Time or generation time of the Spell or Effect to be countered must overlap at least partly with the Protection Period for it to be Countered.
  2. If an Offensive Spell is Countered, the Subtraction Effect is deducted  from its T for all purposes against all its targets (if any).  Against Clerical Spells, 5 * Subtraction Effect is deducted.
  3. The T of the Word of Denial against a Spell of a different SL is multiplied by (CSL/OSL)2, where CSL = Spell Level of Word of Denial and OSL = Offensive Spell Level.  The SL of Word of Denial against Spells of other Disciplines is halved (FRD).
  4. Blowback results are not subject to Notes 2 or 3 above.
