'''Mindward''' protects from mental warding spells. 

The bonus is +20 Mental [[Target Defense]] (MTD) + 1 MTD for every 2 Minor Mental spell ranks beyond 8, with a maximum bonus of +40. With the increase in defense comes an increase in [[mana]] cost; 8 base mana +1 for every 2 additional MTD bonus gained.  Overtraining in Minor Mental spell ranks does not yield additional bonus past the caster's [[level]].
 
When Mindward is cast upon others, the bonus is a flat +20 MTD with a cost of 8 mana.
