Description:	Soldier's Prayer protects the magician from offensive magic. The pattern makes use of the purified soul's affinity to Holy magic, allowing a Paladin to reinforce or "temper" the resulting barrier in the radiance of his own spiritual power. Soldier's Prayer provides a moderate layer of protection, and the magic it absorbs cannot weaken its steadfast bulwark until it is destroyed. However, its caster's own offensive spells will be affected as well.
Effect:	+{{{buffs}}}, -{{{debuffs}}}, {{{dtype}}}, {{{htype}}}, Reduces magic damage.
Example Messaging:	You gesture. You weave a simple barrier out of invisible strands of Holy energy and then focus inward. Spiritual heat surges from your refined soul, tempering the pattern.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

Assumed to be a potency barrier based on description.

Duration is 3-20 minutes.
Soldier's Prayer loses one minute of duration for every spell it contests.
The spell is replaceable.
Mana affects both duration and protection.
The penalty for non-Paladins casting the spell is a severe reduction in mana contribution to the spell. It is more likely to blow off limbs from non-Holy casters.
Terrible soul state no longer prevents a Paladin from casting the spell. However, a Paladin with neutral or worse soul state will be treated as "not a Paladin" and subject to the appropriate penalty.
