War mages have devised this spell in order to increase their survivability in melee combat as they cannot always count to be able to cast their spells undisturbed. Using his own mana the mage envelopes himself in protective energy that reduces impact of all incoming attacks, be they spells or melee attacks. While this effect is fairly spectacular it does tax the mage's magical strength. How big percentage the spell absorbs can be adjusted with 'mana_shield <number>' command. Default percentage is 5. Amount of spell points drained by the absorbation depends on the percentage. High percentages take more spell points per point of damage than lower percentages. 'mana_shield remove' can be used to dispel the effect.
