Elementa Devoro

This defensive spell 'devours' elemental spells, nullifying their effects and channeling the energy back to the caster by restoring an expended spell slot.

When this spell is readied, the spell user may cast it as a Reaction to an elemental spell being cast at him/her. In doing so, the spell user is surrounded by the weave of the elemental magic cast at him/her; but it is soon managed, controlled, and finally squeezed down into nothingness. The spell user must be the target or at least in the target area (in the case of area effect spells) of the offending spell. He/she may not utilize this spell on behalf of another creature unless the creature happens to benefit from being next to the user who him/herself is in the target zone. The spell user must have an expended spell slot open for Elementa Devoro to succeed. Without it, the energy of the weave has no place to go (the spell slot just used to cast Elementa Devoro cannot provide this vacancy). If there is no open spell slot open, then Elementa Devoro fails and the result of the offending spell resolves normally. 

In order to successfully 'devour' an elemental spell, the following must be true:

• The spell caster must have an open spell slot 
• The spell user must win a contested roll of Elementa Devoro vs the offending elemental spell cast at him/her. The higher of the two spells succeeds.

If either of these fail, then Elementa Devoro fails and the offending spell is resolved normally.
