Description:	The Calcified Hide spell uses mutative energy to form a network of slightly flexible, toughened ridges upon the caster's body. These ridges help absorb the shock of all damaging attacks, and may even nullify minor physical damage completely.
Effect:	Unknown
Example Messaging:	3rd person: <Necromancer> holds out her arms to her sides in a preparatory gesture. <Necromancer> shudders slightly as streams of black energy slide up across her arms from her fingertips before arcing out along her entire body. Whitened ridges rise up from beneath <Necromancer>'s <skin/scales> all across her limbs and torso. 1st person: You shudder involuntarily as streams of black energy slide back up across your arms from your fingertips before arcing along your entire body. A brief mixture of pain and euphoria surges through you as whitened ridges rise up from beneath your <skin/scales> all across your limbs and torso, strengthening your body's ability to absorb damage.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

2.0 Notes

• Reduces incoming damage by a percentage, similar to armor Protection. Against physical forms of damage (Puncture, Impact, Slice), in addition to Protection there is also an Absorption analog: if the damage is sufficiently low, it will be removed completely.
• Appears in caster LOOK as: <Caster>'s body is wreathed in a bizarre series of whitened ridges, several gleaming with a malevolent black radiance at any given moment.
