Resist Physical Harm Cantrip

E/F/M:

The subject of this Cantrip is able to resist Physical damage sustained through attacks by the gain of a false total PTRAIT. The amount so gained is equal to one point per Heka point invested by the caster at activation, subject to a maximum possible gain equal to the STEEP possessed by the caster, one-half STEEP if a Partial Practitioner. Physical damage sustained while this Effect is active is then subtracted from the false amount of P TRAIT first, and only after that amount is exhausted does Physical damage actually occur to the subject's person.
