Wisp Armor Spell

“That tome is a good find, but it costs 5 mana to cast it, and you only have three right now. I would hold onto it until you decide what your build is going to be. It’s quite valuable. Or give it to the princess." -- Mordecai^[1]

Wisp Armor is a protective spell that blocks a percentage of magical attack damage and makes the caster temporarily immune to mind control effects.^[2] When cast, the crawler sees a countdown timer and sparkling lights twirling around them like comets.^[3]

AI Description

Wisp Armor
Cost: 5 Mana
Target: Self Only
Duration: 5 minutes + 1 minute per level of spell. Requires 5 minute cooldown.

Surrounds your body with tendrils of light. While ineffective against physical attacks, this spell negates 75% of incoming damage from magic-based attacks.

A great spell to have if you’re a club kid or trying to bang a vegan.^[1]
