ABJURE

Type: combat                        Area of Effect: 1 target - not ranged
Damage: -
Save: -                             Duration: between 1 and level/5 attacks
                                    Pre-Req: Dispel Magic

This spell causes your foe to lose their protections for a number of attacks.
The number of attacks is anywhere between 1 and level/5. Protections
that can be lost could include fireshield, grim ward, blade barrier, sanctuary, 
unholy aura, protection from good, protection from evil, stone skin, or
barkskin. On average it can only be cast on foes that are up to 40 levels 
higher than you with a high failure rate for foes up to 65 levels higher.

This is not the same as DISPEL MAGIC - this works on any target and lifts
their protection for a specific number of attacks rather than dispelling the 
protection permanently.

Usage: abjure <victim>
