Duration: t hr    - t

Range: 10d ft    -d(d-1)/2

Notes:

  1. Cast upon a Target living mind, which may be Caster's, a companion's or an opponent's.
  2. If Target fails (or chooses not to make) st, it is Mind Barred for Duration or until Caster ends the effect by 1 sec's heavy concentration.
  3. Mind Bar provides a complete block on mental Spells and effects, including all Charmer Spells, which have a Spell Level <= Level of Mind Bar.  Clerical Spells count as half their Level (FRU) for this purpose.  It is a 2 way barrier, and therefore Target cannot cast Charmer Spells of <= Level of Mind Bar whilst it is in effect.
  4. Note that Casting Thought or Reflex Spells involves a mental effect to communicate with the Elemental, and these will therefore be Barred by the above Level test, irrespective of whether the Spell being Cast has a mental effect.
  5. Certain Demon Powers involving mental awareness are also Barred.  Applicable Powers are Barred if the Ritual Level required to Summon the Demon is <= Level of Mind Bar.  For example, AINI is unaware of a conspiracy discussed between two people both of whom are Mind Barred at Level 8 or more (AINI being a Duke, requiring RL8 to Summon).
  6. The Effects of Magic Items have an equivalent Spell Level of the Level of the Elemental Bound in them, the RL of the Demon that enchanted them, or Level 5 (in that order of preference). 
  7. A Mind Bar of Level 10 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).
