descr: Exchanging material energy with that of the Shadow Plane, you transform the
  triggering spell into a partially illusory version of itself. Attempt to counteract
  the target spell. If the attempt is successful, any creatures that would be damaged
  by the spell instead take only half as much damage, but the spell otherwise works
  as normal. Treat *shadow siphon*'s counteract level as 2 higher for this attempt.
