--------------------------------------------------------------------- Spell : Shield Class : Wu-Jen, Chaosmage Sphere : Spirit Level : 2 Cost : 20 Casting Time : 1 round Syntax : cast shield <type> <target> cast shield dispel Examples : cast shield cast shield fire cast shield acid mordred cast shield dispel The shield spell creates a sphere of magical protection around the caster. The shield wears out over time until it finally disappears. The caster can only have one magical shield up at any one time. You can also add an additional optional field when casting this spell. You may 'cast shield <type> <target>' where <type> can be 'acid', 'fire', 'lightning', 'poison', 'cold', or 'magic'. Please note that this is defensive and is unlike the other elemental shields Also, the spirit shields are not as specialized in the elements as shields in other spheres, therefore, they offer less resistance to the elements. Use 'cast shield dispel' to your current shield. You can only end a shield cast on yourself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: help spell windshield, help spell fireshield
