If an incoming spell effect has a greater number of levels than she can currently store, she absorbs spell levels up to her limit, and the remaining spell levels are divided by the original number of spell levels to determine what fraction ofthe effect gets through (as withthe spell turning spell, except that the caster of the spell isnever at risk of being harmed).So lets say my spellfire wielder is readied to absorb a fireball coming her way.  She can only store 2 more spellfire levels until she hits her limit.  The fireball hits her and she absorbs 2 of the 3 levels of the fireball but she then takes 1/3 of the damage delt by the fireball for the left-over engergy not absorbed.  Ok, this makes sense but what would the effects of not absorbing all the levels of a non-damage dealing spell? For instance, if my spellfire wielder trys to absorb a charm spell; what would happen if she did not absorb all the levels?</blockquote>
