<Section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Mystic Impedance''' impedes</noinclude><includeonly>Impedes</includeonly> the target's ability to cast high-[[level]] spells. The total number of spell levels restricted in this manner is based on the caster's [[Arcane Symbols]] or [[Magic Item Use]] skill, depending on the method of activation. The top-level restriction is calculated according to '''(20 - [[summation chart|summation seed]] 1 of (caster's ranks/2))'''. For example, a caster with 50 Magic Item Use ranks waving a smooth amber wand at a target will cause it to be unable to cast spells of level 14 or higher.<section end=description />

The mechanic works similar to [[Sounds (607)]] - auto success up to a certain margin above the caster's level, then there's a % chance of failure until you get far above the level of the caster, then auto failure.

If cast natively using an [[Spell knowledge item]], the spell defaults to using your [[Arcane Symbols]] ranks to determine the highest level of spells nullified.

{{found-on-scrolls}} This spell can also commonly be found in [[smooth amber wand]]s.

Mystic Impedance will last 30 seconds when cast by creatures ([[huge water elemental]]s).

'''Wearing off:'''
<pre{{log2|margin-right=27em}}>Golden runes enscribe themselves upon your body, quickly fading into nothingness.</pre>
