Player's Guide To Faerun (3.5) p81:
Initiate of Mystra [Initiate] <--- FEAT
Benefit: You can attempt to cast spells even within a dead magic zone or an antimagic field.
In a dead magic zone, you must make a successful caster level check against a DC equal to 20 + the level
of the spell you are trying to cast. In an antimagic field, you must make a successful caster level
check against a DC equal to 11 + the caster of the antimagic field. If the check is successful,
your spell functions normally.
Questions:
1) What happens when the cleric fails his caster level check? Does he lose the spell or not?
2) What happens to spells with say... lasting durations? Say the cleric casts Owl's Wisdom on himself... what then? I assume that the spell takes effect normally, but its "effect" is suppressed within the AF. Is that right?
...Or does "normally" mean that the spell works as if there never was an AMF?
EDIT: Edited the text in both questions, after new information came to my notice regarding AMF in this thread:
