This spell attempts to Force a creature not native to the current plane that it is on to return to its home plane or expend a significant amount of energy remaining where it is (usually in the form of Body damage). Creatures already on their home plane are Immune to the Banish effect.
This spell usually only affects elementals, fey, and extraplanar creatures (Cast should check the creature type on the monster card) but may affect other types at the discretion of the Plot Committee. PCs may be affected by this spell in certain circumstances to be announced beforehand by the Plot Committee.
Lesser elementals, lesser fey, and lesser extraplanar creatures affected by this spell instantly dissipate as if slain, leaving behind anything carried. An affected creature with the ability to Rift In or Rift Out may not use that ability until the next LP.
Greater elementals, greater fey, and greater extraplanar creatures affected by this spell take 50 points of damage. If slain by this damage, the affected creature cannot Rift In or Rift Out until the next LP.
This spell usually has no effect on normal living or Undead creatures, but, like all spells, will still remove a Spell Shield or Reflect Spell.
