Spell-A-Day: Chaos Shield

Chaos Shield

The shaper gathers cosmic energy and shapes it into a swirling shield. Powerless against physical attacks, this shimmering shield of amethyst light can repel all forms of energy, including all arcana, channeling, and psionic effects. To direct the shield the target must perform a maneuver with the Block element against any incoming attack. If the Block is successful, the attack is reflected in a random “hex” direction (roll 1d6: 1 = forward, 2 = 60 deg. right, 3 = 120 deg. right, 4 = back, 5 = 120 deg. left, 6 = 60 deg. left). If there are potential targets along that path, determine which one is targeted by the reflection. If there are no targets along the path, the spell is reflected without striking a target, although attacks that affect an area might still affect the battlefield.

Effect

The ability to reflect incoming attacks is limited to a maximum number of active points. Optionally, you can interpret this as the maximum number of Damage Classes (DC), EFF (for spells), or MAG (for orisons) that can be reflected by this spell. If the attack exceeds this limit, the spell has no effect on the incoming attack.
