Realm Contingency

School: Invocation/Evocation
Regency: 6 RP per Province + RP cost of effect Spell Req'd Source: 5 (And whatever is needed by effect spell)
Gold: 3 GB per two province (rounded up) + GB cost of the effect spell Caster Level: 13th
Duration: Permanent (until effect is triggered)

This is a version of the 6th level spell Contingency. Although the actual casting of the spell takes only one week, the other three are needed to prepare the effect spell. This spell may affect only provinces where the caster as a source or ley line. The person whose domain is being targeted must be present for the month. This realm spell functions similar to the 6th level spell. Only realm spells that require a caster level equal to or less than 1/3 of the level of the caster of the spell and no more than 10th level caster requirement may be used with Realm Contingency. The RP and GB costs vary with the number of provinces affected. The caster may dispel the spell at will.
The source from which this spell is cast will need to constantly supply energy to Realm Contingency to keep the spell from fading. For every two level of source the effect spell needs, Realm Contingency requires to keep itself going. The caster’s source is considered to be dropped in level, for purposes of RP collection and realm spells, while this spell claims the rest of the source. This may be done through a ley line, so a spell requiring a source (2) to maintain with Contingency could take its source levels from the caster’s level (1) source and from his source (3) which is connected by a ley line.
A realm is not limited in the number of contingencies it can have but many can severely drain a wizard’s power.
