	This spell uses magical force to drive a target away from the magician. It has both defensive and an offensive functions. A [[Magical skills#Magician\|magician]] can use it against an attacker to help effect an expeditious retreat; to split up an enemy group or formation; or to temporarily neutralise an enemy magician. When the spell's power fades the target is usually quite some distance from their original position, meaning that even after the magical effect ends the target still needs to waste time recovering to their previous position.

When the spell's power fades the target is usually quite some distance from their original position, meaning that even after the magical effect ends the target still needs to waste time recovering to their previous position.

	The magical force unleashed by this spell is invisible and soundless, but irresistible. While some magicians make a point of performing massive, heroic strikes with their [[Weapons & armour#Implements\|implement]], the spell is just as effective when delivered with a light brush. Theoretical magicians believe that the spell draws additional force from another place - perhaps the raging tempest of Spring, the mighty winds of Summer or the irresistible energies of Day.

Several [[magic items\|crafted implements]] exist that grant additional access to repelling magic, such as the [[Tumultuous Gyre]] rod, which allows a magician to perform the spell twice each day without expending any personal mana, even without training. The [[Storm Sceptre]] allows a novice to become proficient in the spell, able to perform it without prior mastery. The ritual [[Kimus' Glaring Eye]] allows a magician to strike two targets with one casting of the spell, though at the cost of ensuring a hand is free and marked with a symbol.
