Armor, Physical Cantrip

E/F/M:

This Casting allows the Heka-using persona to bring into being a Heka force which surrounds one subject providing protection similar to Physical armor. No persona can be the subject of more than one such Casting at the same time. (Exception: See Elemental Armor in Elemental School Castings.) The maximum applicable Heka armor thus possible is an amount equal to the caster's M TRAIT (MR CATEGORY if a Partial Practitioner). This armor is effective versus any and all of the various forms of attack that produce Physical damage. For every point of Heka used beyond that required for activation, the subject will be equipped with 1 point of protection. It is destroyed on a 1-for-1 basis as it absorbs damage, and when it is gone, a new Armor, Physical can be cast upon the subject again.
