[QUOTE="kanake676, post: 2692251, member: 35162"] [b]Game Mechanics[/b] The Magic of Faerun describes that a spellfire wielder can ready an action to absorb spells that target him as if he were a rod of absorption. The spell then has no effect on the spellfire wielder. The spellfire wielder gets to store one level of spellfire energy for every spell level absorbed, limits of how much he can store are based on his constitution. He can use this energy for different things like doing damage with a ranged/melee touch attack or healing with it. It is kind of like they are taking the magic directed at them and absorbing it, turning it into the raw essence of magic to be used later how they see fit (within the rules of course). I'm just curious as to what people's views are on how having your spell absorbed by a spellfire wielder would feel. Would it be a passive sort of thing that just happens with no noticable difference from casting the actual spell, or would it be more like thier energy was being sucked from thre caster by some unknown source? Or something entirely different perhaps? I'm just looking for opinions on the matter. [/QUOTE]
