Fire Shield

Class: Mage

Level: 16

Mages are able to summon shards of glisting ice into existence before their bodies that protects them and moves with them wherever they go. The cold shards of death provide some protection and any enemy who moves into the cold shards to attack you are subject to loss of strength along with damage. This spell is castable only upon yourself.

Usage: cast 'ice shield'

Example: cast 'ice shield'

…she is surrounded by glisting shards of ice.

What do you all think?

This ice shield would not block any attacks. Any fire type attacks would di slightly less damage however shorten the duration of the ice shards.

awsome!

but for causing the enemy to lose strength, i would move it to around level 20…

maybe adding a lightning barrier as well

maybe level 30 or so, it will be almost the same as a pris sphere, but a lot weaker. but it also affect borgs more than other enemies. when a mage/borg or a borg/mage uses this spell, they will no longer have a weakness to lightning.

the tail maybe

Cast is hovering here. …she is shelled by sparks of bolts.

maybe some/all of the stuff can be changed, but it would be kinda nice to have shields of all elements.

Cast

Cool. No pun intended.

Since it's pretty similar to fire shield, I propose some slight changes in both fields. Because I believe it's not ideal to have two spells in which one is better than the other, I think fire shield should produce more damage upon impact and ice shield should do less damage and give more a bit more ac since it reduces strength. And, only one can be in affect at any one time. Thus, casting ice shield while fire shield is on will negate fire shield and the ice shield will form. They should be trainable at the same level as well, like defensive and offensive posturing.

"maybe adding a lightning barrier as well

Just to clear things up, pris sphere is also considered a lightning-based attack. So having a lightning barrier that's the same as pris sphere but affects borgs even more so is pointless. I also say no to secondary class affects (your mage/borg, borg/mage idea). Though, the idea of having a lightning barrier is awesome, even if it's a bit repetitive (electrostatic field, energy field). So for completion purposes:

Lightning Shield

Level: Same as Fire Shield and Ice Shield

Forms a shroud of lightning around the caster that protects from physical attacks. Basically works the same as the other two shields but provides for no damage. Instead, it gives the attacker wait state (not knockdown) and attacker might drop wielded weapon into inventory. Casting Lightning Shield while in affect of Fire or Ice Shield will negate them and erect the Lightning Shield in its place. Protection from lightning negates the affect of Lightning Shield, as do protection from fire or cold to their respective shields.

lightning shield sould be a ranger spell
