Description

Elemental Deflection is a defensive enhancement spell. It provides a 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 2 ranks known over 507 when selfcast.

The mana cost also increases by +1 for every 6 Major Elemental ranks known over 507.

The spell will protect the user from an SMRv1 maneuver if the maneuver is able to be defended against by a shield. For example, soul golems pushing a character into steam vents can be deflected by a shield, so this spell would give the user protection.

The spell is selfcast only.
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 - 7) ÷ 2)]

The DS bonus at 100 Major Elemental Spell Ranks is 67.
