Magic Armour

            This Spell is available only through The Citadel – Storm’s Academy.  Magic Armour is a defensive Spell that will provide protection against physical attacks.  When Cast, the Spell will envelop any person that the Mage touches with a glowing aura which will quickly vanish into the target of the Spell.  This aura will give some protection against physical attacks, such as fists, swords or arrows.
            Magic Armour is no defence against Magical Spells of any kind, other than the ones which conjure up a physical object, i.e. Metal Bolt or Magic Weapon.  At lower levels, the Spell will provide minimal protection, roughly equivalent to leather armour, but at higher levels it provides much better protection, equal to plate armour or even better.
            Magic Armour is not stackable, the Casting Mage can Cast as many duplicates of the Spell as they desire but this will not increase the protection given.  The Spell does not have to be used upon the Casting Mage, they can cast it on another person, animal or even object if they so wished.

             Felix dived to the side as the scimitar swung through the air, just missing the back of his neck.  The Mage looked up at the creature that was stalking him and gulped down the fear that rose in his throat.  His opponent was at least 8ft tall and seemed to be made entirely of flames.  Up to now, no Spell that the Mage had Cast had had any effect on this monster and Felix was rapidly running out of choices.
            Once again, the huge, curved sword swung downwards but this time the Mage wasn’t fast enough to get out of the way.  The razor sharp edge of the sword cut across Felix’s upper arm but it bounced off the Magic Armour that Felix had Cast earlier.  Magical sparks flew as the hard metal edge of the sword collided with the strong Magical field that protected the Mage.
            The strength of the blow staggered the Mage but there was no mark on his arm, the Armour had done it’s work well.  Again and again, the fire monster swung at the Mage and each time, Felix took more of a battering.  He knew that he couldn’t keep this up for much longer but what could he do?
            Despair swept over him as the fire creature raised its scimitar and advanced on the exhausted Mage.
