It is a [[Mass_spells|mass spell]] and will affect all the characters within the same group as the caster when cast.
This is one of three spells, collectively and colloquially known as "massies", which provide a defensive bonus, affect all members of the caster's group, and remain persistent after the group is disbanded. As such, it is quite common for groups to form in public places specifically for the purpose of casting these spells. The other two such spells are [[Mass Elemental Defense (419)]] and [[Mass Colors (611)]].


It can be imbedded using [[Magic_Item_Creation_(420)|Magical Item Creation]].
