Ritual of Necromancy Shield

Rank 2
Sorcery Ritual · Requires Sorcery Rank 2

This ritual provides the recipient with a magical spell defense that will protect them from any necromantic spell or attack, including spells augmented by Warlock skills such as the Total Power skill. After the necromancy shield is invoked it is expended and it resets after 5 minutes. This Ritual will go off against the first necromancy spell or ritual if the recipient is unconscious, or otherwise rendered unable to use a spell defense. The caster can choose to cast this ritual upon themselves, upon another character, or upon an item. If cast on themselves or another character there is no in-game representation of the ritual. If this ritual is cast upon an item, a temporary item card must be made to indicate the magical nature of the item. As with other rituals that create magical items, the item is indestructible so long as the ritual lasts. A Ritual of Embedding is not needed to make an item with a Ritual of Necromancy Shield. The player should call "Necromancy Shield" when they invoke this defense.

Cost, Casting Time & Components

Like every Rank 2 ritual, this ritual's exact Temporary Power Point cost, casting time, and component count are set within the Rank 2 range by a Magic Marshal when the ritual is created - see How Rituals Work for the full rank table and general casting rules.
