Roundtime: 3 sec.
>stance def
You are now in a defensive stance.
>
A vesperti points a clawed finger at you!
Your intense focus directs the magical attack straight into your inset veil iron shield, which blocks it!
Your focus on shielding your mind and soul falters.
As the tendril of swirling gray magic leaves the vesperti, it is deflected away from you and dissipates harmlessly into the air.
