Dispel shunt

Dispel shunt was a spell that protected its caster from dispel magic.

Effects
The spell remained in effect for ten minutes, redirecting any dispel magic spell cast upon the caster to another location of their choice about or maybe about twice that. However, it would be reflected by any spell barrier at least as complex as a wall of ice. There was a risk, if the dispelling attempt was focused on its original caster, that the shunt would be broken instead, though it still protected the caster.

The shunt had unique interactions with antimagic field, being able to break that spell, but at the same time, it would be broken rather than suppressed; it had a similar response to Mordenkainen's disjunction, though its chances were somewhat slimmer. It also protected the target somewhat against a rod of cancellation, improving their odds of enduring the effect somewhat; finally, it could block the ray of a wand of negation, disabling it for a couple minutes due to feedback, though this consumed the shunt.

Components
The spell only required verbal and somatic components.

History
Azuth made this spell available through Elminster sometime prior to.
