Notes
- Although the mana cap of each cast is 60, the spell does stack beyond that. Each cast of 60 provides about 30 minutes of shielding. The PERCEIVE command only shows durations of up to two anlaen (1 real-life hour), but the real cap for shield duration seems to be about two hours.
- The Multiple Ethereal Shields effect (i.e. the shield expanding to also cover members of your group at the time of casting) begins taking place without fail at 230 ranks of Primary Magic skill.
- Compatible with the Pattern Hues cantrip.
- With the release of the Analogous Patterns Spellbook, this spell can now be chosen at 1st circle.
