Offense may be the best form of defense, but defense is a pretty good form too.

Use[]

During Combat, Fortification blocks or reduces your foes' attacks. Outside combat, you may find yourself being glad of this sphere for dealing with an unexpected event such as falling boulders.

Combat Effects[]

Fortification effects cannot be resisted.

Impenetrable Shield[]

Fortification's Instant Effect is called Impenetrable Shield.

When it's cast successfully, the combat screen will give this description:

  • You channel your power of fortification and erect an impenetrable, glowing barrier
  • Your enemy is unable to penetrate your magical shield.

Then you will attack as normal.

The effect is the same at all levels of Fortification, and the only thing that can stop Impenetrable Shield is an Anti-Magic Aura.

Guardian Barrier[]

Fortification's Sustained Effect is called Guardian Barrier. It has two effects: reducing the damage you take and/or reflecting damage back to your foe. When you cast it, Guardian Barrier gives this description:

  • You channel your power of fortification and erect a shimmering barrier...

On following rounds, this is the description:

  • Your guardian barrier shimmers brightly...

Damage reflection happens at random, regardless of whether the foe damaged you (presumably the attack is absorbed and reflected by the shield). The message is:

  • Your barrier returns part of your enemy's attack!

Damage reduction always works, but only happens when the enemy damages you (and does NOT apply to special attacks). The message is:

  • Damage taken (X) reduced by (% of X)

The amount of reduction is given in whole numbers, with a minimum reduction of 1.

You also attack normally during the round.

Effects by Level

10-19 1 10-20%

*Results of testing. Other values may be possible.
