Brace causes thick plates of bone to grow on the caster's forearms. If not using a shield or weapon, these plates grant the chance to parry melee and ranged attacks. Brace allows two chances to outright parry an attack for double open handed combatants trained in Two Weapon Combat.

In addition to increased outright parry chance, melee strikes that hit the caster's arms (or a weaponless parry) have a chance to disarm the attacker. The chance to disarm is 25% and increases with Mental Lore, Transformation ranks. The lore bonus is 2% for each bonus per seed 3 of the Summation chart (see table below).
