Displacement Cantrip

E/F/M:

This dweomer causes the light striking its subject to so bend and reflect as to make such individuals appear to be as many inches removed from their actual position as the caster who laid the dweomer has STEEP points in this K/S Sub-Area. This light distortion occurs despite the movement of such a subject, so that on any given CT a viewer relying principally on visual senses will be uncertain of the subject's actual location, unless that viewer has physical contact with persona. Any attempt at direct attack, including all Combat 11/5 forms, by an individual utilizing visual senses as a principal means of location upon one under Displacement dweomer Effect will fail to succeed automatically on the rust attempt, and Special Failure chances are doubled. Subsequent attempts by the same attacker will always suffer a penalty of + 1 per five inches of actual displacement between location and light-distortion-indicated location. Area attacks are not usually affected by this dweomer, unless the central subject happens to be one under Effect of this dweomer. In this case, as well as in such others as the GM deter/nines warrant. the Difficulty Rating of the Casting's success chance will be harder by one or two steps. Double Displacement is not possible. and a second dweomer placed upon the same subject will cause both to be negated. This Casting, however. does not interfere with heka armor of any sort.
