@Artemis1992 I switched her and Benerro with Malarys and Vee, since both Malarys and Vee can do their shtick without worry on either side.

So it seems like WBL-omancy was a traditional art for the Sarnori. I bet the higher ups in that horde have similar amounts of shit running around, which means we can use the the most irritating spells in the game.

To make their own buffs hurt them:
Magical Backlash
Reciprocal Gyre

To take away their buffs:
Spell Scourge

To make them lose spell slots:
Stars of Mystra
Arcane Turmoil
Spellcrash

To put Clerics in time out:
Divine Interdiction

Granted this is more a list of "how to fuck over the companions" than anything else, but using it on these guys would be fun.

You're the reason Viserys and all of the Companions are now wearing charms with a constant Spell Immunity effect blocking the Magical Backlash spell.

/isn't paranoid, since they really are out to get us!

The shitty part about that is there's another spell that does almost the same thing, so even with that ring our opponents can still just use Reciprocal Gyre to try the same thing.
 
This next battle, every round, 40 Steam Cannons are going to be pounding the enemy with AoE alchemical munitions, and dozens of aircraft are going to be bombing the enemy with exploding drones, or dropping 500 pounds of munitions on tightly packed groups of undead.

I honesty expect entire ranks of enemies to evaporate under that kind of pressure...

While that is dangerous and we might want to avoid getting subjected to it, Reciprocal Gyre is a higher Spell Level and thus even harder to spam like you suggested people might try with Backlash.

That's a good point; I guess I'm just paranoid about the possibility of Viserys getting imploded by his own buffing scheme. Thats a really humiliating way to go; it's like slipping and getting impaled on one of the many superfluous spikes on your own doom castle.

Reminds me of that one time we used all our buffs in the Dreamlands of Essaria and basically rang the dinner bell for Nurgle.

Contingent Heal would probably negate the first Gyre to hit Viserys. Whoever cast it on him, and probably a couple of football fields worth of his general direction, would very quickly come to learn how close we are to excluding the 'Shadow' from the Doom.

Keep in mind that the lady you take as example is from the earlier days of Sarnor.

By the time the Dothraki came magic was waning, so there where propably less high-end items going around.

@BronzeTongue linked the old version of that spell, BTW. The newer version has a much higher damage potential, but is also much saner. Rather than spell levels affecting the target, it's actual spells. Even at maximum buffocity, he isn't likely to have more than 12 to 15 spells in effect simultaneously, but more often it would be 6 to 8. So rather than having to save for half damage against 25d6, he's more like to have to save against 6 or 8d12. In big battles, though 12 to 15d12 is still a very hard hit.

There are better 5th level combat spells, but not many that have the potential to inflict high damage and force a Fortitude save to avoid something as debilitating as the Daze condition.
 
It's a good spell... but is it really something you're going to see loaded into magitech cannons as some kind of ploy for "cheap" anti-spellcaster fuckery?

The answer is no! I mean there's certain constraints with range and positioning to take into account. Namely that you would basically have to ambush a guy who routinely turns entire formations into barbeque. If you're going to try stabbing a living tactical nuke in the kidneys, you might want to use exotic poisons or something instead.
