Description¶
When this spell is cast, the wizard is protected from the next magical attack against him. The spells that this protects the wizard from are Spell Thrust, Secret Word, Breach, Lower Resistance, Pierce Magic, Ruby Ray, Warding Whip, Pierce Shield, and Spellstrike. If one of these spells is cast at the wizard, this spell activates and absorbs the attack. However, this works only once as this spell is consumed in the process. Otherwise, it will last for the duration.
