Description

Thurfel's Ward is a defensive enhancement spell. It provides a base bonus of +20 to defensive strength.

For each rank of Major Elemental spells known:

• the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration.
• the DS bonus is increased by +1 for every 4 ranks known over 503 when selfcast.

The mana cost also increases by +1 for every 12 Major Elemental ranks known over 503.

The spell can be imbedded using Magic Item Create (420).

The DS bonus is capped at the caster's level.

DS increase = [20 + ((Major Elemental Spell Ranks - 3) ÷ 4)]

The DS bonus at 100 Major Elemental Spell Ranks is 44.
