Shadow Plate Cantrip

E/F/M:

This Cantrip forms a deep, shadowy aura surrounding its subject This Effect protects such subject from harm exactly as if they were wearing full Plate armor, although it neither slows or hinders movement or action as actual metal armor would, and electrical attacks are guarded against, loo, just as if they were piercing ones, as the protection is magickal, not ferrous metal. Additionally, for every point of heka channeled by the caster beyond the initial activation cost. the Shadow-plate will absorb I point of Physical damage whether or not heka-caused. Such absorbed damage is always subtracted fist from the Shadow-plate, and reduces the armor's special protective value by a Ike amount. Even though special protection might be reduced to 0, this doesn't necessarily negate the Effect, for otherwise it functions just as would normal Plate armor in this regard. and it will remain until destroyed by damage ( 10 hits. equalling .its full value) or the Casting's Time duration expires.
