Influence of Aquarius Cantrip

E/F/M:

This Cantrip's Effect is similar to that of the Dweomercræft, General, Casting Mindmask. sole purpose is cloaking thought to block attempts to forge Mental links. In the case of attacks in which a Link is otherwise made automatically, such as a Wound, Men. Casting, the shielding heka added to the Cantrip by the astrologer will deflect the attack. Shielding is equal to one point per point of additional heka expended by the caster at the moment of activation of this dweomer. No more Heka poins than equal the Astrology K/S Area STEEP of the caster can be expended for shielding. The shielding negates automatic Link at a cost of 1 Heka point per Grade of the Casting used in attacking the subject. Thus a Grade 1 Casting negates but 1 point of shielding. a Grade II reduces shielding by 2 points, etc. No other influence of Effect can be active on the same individual/area at the same time as this dweomer without the conjoining Effect of an ascendant (q.v.) Casting.
