Ritual of Spell Shield

This ritual provides the recipient with a magical shield that can protect them from any magical spell or effect including spells augmented with Warlock abilities such as the Total Power skill, Nature Magic, Spell Singing, and sorcery rituals rank 5 or lower. After the spell shield is invoked to protect against a spell, the shield is expended; it resets itself after 5 minutes. 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 Spell Shield. The player should call "Spell Shield" when they invoke this defense.
