Spirithedge Refrain Spell

E/F/M:

Similar in nature to hekahedge Casting (q.v.), this Spell when vocalized, creates dense barrier of shrub-like growth one rod deep and high which blocks physical bodies and attacks, serves to conceal the caster and any comp. trio., and prevents the passage (over, under. or through) it of Non Physical Manifestation creatures and beings as well. The practitioner can shape the barrier at the moment of activation into any form desired, from a straight line to a circular enclosure. It has a base Heka strength of 25. and for each additional 1 point of Heka added to the Casting at time of activation. this strength is increased by 1. so as to further resist destruction by Heka as is explain. below. A spirit or NPM encountering the barrier receives a jolt of 1D6+1 Spiritual damage and must recoil for one CT doing nothing other than recovering. If any Physical creature or being (including those with Partial Physical Manifestation) attacks. touches, or attempts to pass through the enchanted wall of thorny brush, an instant Heka jolt of 106+1 points. of Physical damage is delivered to that subject and it must recoil likewise. Each subsequent contact again inflicts like damage and forces recoiling. Acid. electricity, and fire (magickal or otherwise) do no damage to the barrier. However, attacking Heka energy of Physical nature destroys its Integral Heka energy, reducing it on a 1-for-1 basis as such damage accrues. If at any time damage thus delivered exceeds the remaining forte of the hekahedge, the Effect vanishes. However, until it is so negated, this wall of magickal force will fend off penetration and absorb or repel Heka directed at those on the other side.
