Thurfel's Ward is a defensive enhancement spell. It provides a base bonus of +20 to defensive strength.

For each rank of Major Elemental spells known:

  • the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration.
  • the DS bonus is increased by +1 for every 4 ranks known over 503 when selfcast.

The mana cost also increases by +1 for every 12 Major Elemental ranks known over 503.
