Description
You shape your maleficence into a protective shield. In any given round, you may shield yourself or any single target you choose, conferring a defense bonus equal to the MP expended to cast the spell, up to +3. The shield may also be used to absorb a point of damage for each point of defense it grants against a single target, but is dispelled when the MP invested into it is depleted in this way. This spell can be cast as a reaction if you have not already acted in the round.
