The caster uses his or her spiritual powers to influence the surrounding spirits to provide additional physical protection. This defensive bonus provides a +10 to [[Defensive Strength]] (Melee and Ranged DS) for 20 minutes.


'''Spirit Shield''' adds +10 to both ranged and melee [[defensive strength]]. When used as a [[self-cast]] spell, the spells effects increase with training. Increased training in the [[Major Spiritual]] spell circle increases the defensive strength provided by this spell by one per three ranks above 2. Additionally, the mana cost of the spell increases by one per 9 ranks above 2 in the Major Spiritual spell circle. For example, at 38 ranks in the Major Spiritual spell circle, this spell provides +22 to DS and costs 6 mana. Additionally, the spell will last 58 minutes.
When [[selfcast]], Spirit Shield's effects increase with training, providing an additional +1 DS and lasting one more minute for every three ranks over 2 known in the Major Spiritual Circle. Due to the increasing defensive effects of this spell, the mana cost is a base of 2 MP, +1 MP for every 3 DS over 10. The self-cast duration is cumulative with repeated casts. Overtraining in Major Spiritual spell ranks does not yield additional bonus past the caster's level.

When Spirit Shield is cast on others, the bonus is a flat +10 DS with a flat mana cost of 2 MP and the duration is not cumulative; it is [[refreshable]].

''Spirit Shield is commonly known as "dims" for its visual effect.''

The caster uses his or her spiritual powers to influence the surrounding spirits to provide additional physical protection. This defensive bonus provides a +10 to Defensive Strength (Melee and Ranged DS) for 20 minutes.

When selfcast, Spirit Shield's effects increase with training, providing an additional +1 DS and lasting one more minute for every three ranks over 2 known in the Major Spiritual Circle. Due to the increasing defensive effects of this spell, the mana cost is a base of 2 MP, +1 MP for every 3 DS over 10. The self-cast duration is cumulative with repeated casts. Overtraining in Major Spiritual spell ranks does not yield additional bonus past the caster's level.

When Spirit Shield is cast on others, the bonus is a flat +10 DS with a flat mana cost of 2 MP and the duration is not cumulative; it is refreshable.

Spirit Shield is commonly known as "dims" for its visual effect.
