Description

Warding Sphere is a defensive enhancement spell. It provides a base bonus of +10 to defensive strength and target defense. Group members also gain the DS/TD benefits.

For each rank of Cleric base spells known:

• the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration.
• the base defensive strength and target defense bonus is increased by +1 for every Cleric Base rank above 310 to a maximum bonus of +20 at rank 30 Cleric Base ranks. This bonus applies to both the caster and group members.

The mana cost also increases by 1 for every 2 Cleric Base ranks known over 310.

Group Mechanics

While the spell initially benefits all members of the cleric's group, proximity to the cleric is necessary to maintain the benefit, as it is the strength of the cleric's conviction that bolsters their inherent abilities. Mechanically, the game intermittently checks to ensure that a character is in the room with the cleric that initially cast Warding Sphere - if not, the spell expires.
