Do counterspells work and the root is just too weak, or is it broken?
Code:
>[Spells help] 'giant strength' weaken
Syntax: cast 'giant strength' <ally>
Syntax: cast weaken <victim|weapon>
Giant strength increases the target's strength, often by a significant
amount. This can come in handy when there are heavy things to be carried,
or in combat where a stronger stroke may do more damage. The boost can raise
the target's strength above the normal racial maximum. When the spell ends
the ally will be fatigued for a time equal to the spell's original duration.
Weaken decreases the victim's strength by significant amount, often causing
him to drop things, even in the middle of combat. This is a hostile casting
and will provoke an attack. Weaken can also be cast upon a weapon and will
cause the next victim hit with that weapon to be weakened.
Giant strength and Weaken are counterspells of each other.
