Description

This spell enables you to divine the exact nature and vulnerabilities of a single creature's magical defenses, giving you a +10 bonus on caster level checks to overcome its spell resistance. The bonus only affects the caster and cannot be cast more then once on the target.

Bugs

(Checked in 1.03) Since RemoveEffectsFromSpell() is used to remove previous spells' effects, it means that only one casting of this spell can affect a target, that is regardless of who casts the spell. If you have two mages in your party, only one can ever have a bonus against the target if both cast this spell at it. This is probably not intended behaviour!

Gameplay Notes

This is a spell generally saved for special SR creatures, not groups. Dragons, Daemons and Devils all much more easily fall prey to the caster's additional SR-based spells under its effects.

There is the problem of it not affecting spells cast by other casters, and it cannot effect groups.

Because it doesn't use the casters ability modifier, and only uses the casting level for duration, makes it a good spell to have on a Wand, Rod or Scroll.

Modding notes

This spell uses EffectAssayResistance() which has no inputs, meaning this spell can only ever be a +10 bonus, nothing more and nothing less.
