You cause spells to divert from their original paths to strike your target. Upon casting this spell, you surround the target with a 15-foot-diameter invisible aura that attracts spells aimed at nearby creatures.

Any ranged spell that deals damage and targets a specific creature (such as disintegrate, magic missile, or scorching ray) within 15 feet is diverted to strike the target of this spell instead.

The diverted spell strikes the creature affected by Strand's baneful attractor, even if this would cause it to exceed its normal range.

The aura of this spell does not pass through barriers that would impede line of effect. Ranged beneficial spells with a specific target, or area-effecting spells (like fireball, flame strike, or lighting bolt) are not affected by Strand's baneful attractor. Potentially harmful spells that don't directly deal damage (like magic jar, silence, or many enchantment spells) are also not diverted by this spell.

Arcane energies bend and twist, converging upon the chosen focal point, ensuring that the intended target becomes the reluctant recipient of mystical onslaughts.
