Item
Rune of Order
A blade that unmakes what wizards have wrought
The rune wizards fear, and the clearest expression of what dwarves think of other peoples' magic. A hit from this weapon dispels one active spell on the target.
Once per turn when the weapon hits, choose at random one active spell on the creature. That spell ends if its level is less than or equal to the rune's level. Protection, acceleration, enlargement, blessing, flight: anything placed upon the creature is eligible.
There is no opposed check. The weapon has no caster level to contest the wizard's; it measures nothing, it simply unmakes. The rune's level alone determines what it can affect.
Magic items are immune. Their magic is locked in gold and too tenacious for one blow to remove. An enchanted sword struck by a Rune of Order remains enchanted.
Runic weapons likewise have no effect on one another. The two magics regard each other without touching.
