Effect: This spell allows the caster
to protect himself from some sure cause of death--one that if entered or
undertaken is normally guaranteed to cause
the death of the character.
The event protected against can only be
a
natural one-not a spell or the action
of a character or creature. The wu jen could use the spelt to protect himself
from dying in a pot of boiling oil or
under the crushing weight of an avalanche, but could do nothing to prevent
death from the breath of a dragon or the
swords of a band of samurai. The event being
protected against must be
specific and the spell is only effective
against that event. Should the event come to pass during the duration of
the spell, the wu jen suffers no damage
from it nor does he feel any discomfort. However, the spell does nothing
to protect those items carried or worn
by the wu jen. At the expiration of the spell's duration, the event formerly
protected against has full normal effects
on the wu jen.
MC: An ointment of peach syrup and
cinnabar.
