Prismatic Guard is a defensive spell that causes multicolored rays to "shoot out of your body and flow into the shimmering sphere around you." It's self-cast, so it won't help non-wizards unless used from a magic item or scroll.

Factors Affecting Prismatic Guard

Training in Wizard Base spells increases the duration of this spell, as well as the efficacy.

For each rank of Wizard Base spells known, the duration of the spell is extended by 15 seconds from its base 600 second duration.

If cast from a scroll the duration is the 600 second base time plus 15 seconds for each two ranks of Arcane Symbols.

If cast from a magic item the duration is calculated as found here.

For each rank of Wizard Base spells known, the effectiveness is increased by +1 for every 4 Wizard Base spell ranks known over 5. The mana cost also increases +1 for each 12 Wizard ranks known over 5.

Spell Usage

This spell provides a +20(+additional) to bolt DS and +5(+bonus) to physical DS.

Messaging

Initial cast:

Multicolored rays shoot out of your body and flow into the shimmering sphere around you.
