Tuhinga Magi
Today’s spell is Tuhinga Magi spelled as two words T U H I N G A M A G I. Tuhinga Magi is a level eight abjuration spell with an instant casting time, a maximum duration of an hour, and can only be cast upon the self. This spell requires concentration to maintain and a pinch of iron filings as material which will be consumed during the spell.
Tuhinga Magi places a ten foot sphere around the caster. Within this sphere all magical energy is nullified. No spells can be cast and those that have been are suppressed for the duration. The sphere does not end a spell, it only stops it’s effects while in the sphere. The spell cannot work against itself so should it encounter another sphere, the two would join, making a larger non-magic area. On the other side of the sphere, no magical items may enter, and enchanted items will have their abilities suppressed. The sphere created by Tuhinga Magi is moble and moves with the caster. Should you attempt to walk through a portal, the sphere will force the portal closed.
Tuhinga Magi is considered the most powerful magical defense spell. It doesn’t, however, provide any protection against non-magical items.
If you’ve traveled through an airport since 2001, you’ve walked through a tuhinga magi sphere. To aid the TSA with keeping air travel secure, agents have been quietly suppressing magical energy while you walk shoeless through the metal detectors. A lesser known use of the spell is during sporting events to prevent magic from altering performance.
