Spirit Barrier (102)

Spirit Barrier creates a wall of air around the target, slowing the movement of physical and elemental attacks resulting in a defensive bonus.

Effect

A DS bonus of +20 against melee, ranged, unarmed combat and bolt spell attacks. There is an additional DS bonus of +1 for every 2 Minor Spiritual spells known above two.

An AS penalty of -20 to melee and ranged attacks and a -20 penalty to the unarmed attack factor with unarmed attacks. There is an additional -1 penalty per 2 Minor Spiritual spells known above two.

A boost to maneuver defense for some standard creature maneuvers. The spell will protect the user from a 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.

This is a very useful defensive spell for casters of bolt spells or users of wands containing bolt spells since there is no bolt AS penalty.

This spell can now be STOPped.

+1 mana per three (3) additional bonus over the base +20.
