Description: | Cage of Light weaves the light-fire of the moons into a protective barrier around its caster. Though it appears as a cage, the barrier moves effortlessly with the magician, weightless and unhindering.
This spell reduces the amount of injury the magician suffers from kinetic force and conventional weaponry. It can completely hedge out minor supernatural and elemental sources of injury, but any physical force behind the attack must still be accounted for: it may nullify the fiery enchantment of a sword, but the swing itself can only be reduced. It may squelch the dire holiness of a weak Fist of Faenella, but the kinetic force that propels it must be endured. | |
