Shield

Duration: 2 Turns
Range: Touch

Magic-Users are masters of matter and as such can command objects racing towards them to stop. The objects are sometimes impertinent, it is true, but this spell will protect the caster from many attacks which would otherwise harm them. Against missile attacks, the spell grants the caster a +5 bonus to Armour Class, and a +3 bonus to Armour Class against all other attacks. Even when an attack still lands, it does one less point of damage than it otherwise would have.
