I didn't mean to imply there was a guaranteed result on the water and lightning aspects of 520 on the wiki. They are subject to a hidden roll. You have a really high chance of being successful, but you will occasionally fail to have those effects trigger as they are part of combat and do factor a set of criteria into success. So, you probably won't prevent that level 200 beast from dispelling you, and you probably won't be able to stun it with a retaliation strike. |

Subject: Mage Armor (520) Released!
The major elemental spell 520 - Mage Armor has been released. This spell replaces the previous spell Stone Skin.
Mage Armor manipulates the elemental forces within a wizard's body, forming a layer of elemental energy that shifts with their movements. This self-cast spell provides additional protection from physical attacks in the form of critical padding.
The base amount of padding for native casters is somewhat at 20 Major Elemental ranks, increasing every 15 Major Elemental ranks to a max of heavy padding at 95 ranks.
Note: Non-native casters can only achieve light critical padding with this spell, and elemental aspects are not available to non-native casters.
Note: The critical padding provided by this spell and it's aspects stack with other forms of padding. The armor can be further enhanced by focusing on specific elements to further shore up defenses via CAST <Element>. Focusing on an element will produce additional defenses based on lore training in the respective elemental lore.
Focusing on the Fire Aspect of this spell allows a mage to channel his defenses into stronger offensive attacks.
Focusing on the Water Aspect of this spell boosts the mage's defenses against dispel attacks.
Focusing on the Earth Aspect of this spell will shield the mage in a layer of rock when he becomes stunned.
Focusing on the Air Aspect of this spell will allow the mage to carry more.
Focusing on the Lightning Aspect of this spell will stun all enemies in the room for a short time when the mage becomes stunned.
More specific details can be found on the wiki (external link removed)
Credit to goes GameMaster Konacon for working on the code for this release.
