Spell

Perfect Equivalent Duality

Created by Mizael

This potent spell can be invoked only once per battle, requiring the caster to make direct physical contact with a hostile creature. The fundamental nature of this enchantment prevents its use on willing allies, as the duality inherent to its magic demands opposition between caster and target. Upon activation, the caster designates a number of hit points to be either restored or inflicted, with this exact amount affecting both themselves and the touched enemy simultaneously. A caster might choose to restore health to both parties, prolonging the conflict and allowing the battle to continue, or alternatively inflict damage that wounds them both equally. The spell's versatility makes it a double-edged blade—it can decisively end a confrontation in a single action or serve as a desperate gambit to sustain both combatants. Strategic consideration is paramount, as the caster must weigh the consequences of harming themselves alongside their opponent. Once used, the spell's power becomes dormant until the current battle concludes and a new conflict begins.
