Description:	Calcified Hide uses mutative magic 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:	Possible Messaging: Casting: Xerasyth holds out his arms to his sides in a preparatory gesture. Xerasyth shudders slightly as streams of black energy slide up across his arms from his fingertips before arcing out along his entire body. Whitened ridges rise up from beneath Xerasyth's scales all across his limbs and torso. Deflecting: The ridges on Xerasyth's calcified hide flare with a black radiance, nullifying the attack! Wearing Off: Xerasyth twitches several times as the ridges encompassing his form recede and vanish.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

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.
