Source: Wizard’s Spell Compendium Vol 3Description
A more powerful version of pierce magic resistance, this spell must be cast one round before an offensive spell. The spell cast immediately after Pierce Any Shield cannot be stopped by any known magical defenses, including magic resistance, spell turning, spell absorption, anti-magic shell, or counterspell immunity. The target of the subsequent spell can only attempt a saving throw if the spell allows one, and such saving throws suffer a -8 penalty.
The Pierce Any Shield spell does not protect the caster from events that would normally disrupt the casting of the subsequent spell.
The material component is a silver spike or knife.
Notes
Common in the Mystara setting; otherwise, very rare.
