Description:	The Grounding Field spell establishes an electrical field about the magician that redirects hostile energies harmlessly into Elanthia. When establishing a field it must be attuned to fire, cold or electrical sources specifically. While much trial and hardship has resulted in a stable barrier that will not interfere with the caster's own attacks be warned that the field will amplify energy sources it is not attuned to.

Effect

The way it works is slightly complex, but the basic logic it should follow is this:

If the attack is purely elemental and the primary element is what you're attuned to, the attack will be stopped entirely.

If the attack is both elemental and physical, and the primary element is what you're attuned to, the elemental component will be stripped away entirely.

If the attack's primary element is not what you are attuned to, the any damage from both elements you are not attuned to will be increased. Any damage from the element you are attuned to will still be nullified (though for brevity this isn't messaged).

Notes

• If set to fire, it will prevent naphtha from ignighting but will not extinguish already burning naphtha.
