With this spell the Mage calls up insects from the land about him to form a barrier of living bodies which makes him almost impossible to hit. On the first turn the spell does nothing, on the second insects start to swarm about the Mage in a living screen that provides +2 Defence. By the third turn there are enough creatures to give +4 Defence, and by the fourth +5. On the seventh to eighth turns the swarm provides +6 Defence, after that it disperses, the magic no longer holding it together. This spell functions anywhere between the Ice Hills and the Sunward edge of the Drylands.

This spell conjures about the head of its target, whom the Mage must touch, a ring of small glowing balls of fire, of a number equal to the level of the Casting Mage. These spheres remain in existence for up to 30 minutes. Any further casting of the spell on a target removes the old spell and replaces it with the new one. In combat the subject of the spell may expend a sphere to attempt to nullify any blow that would otherwise hit them. They must do this before determining damage for the hit. Roll a D20. On a roll of 10 or less the damage is nullified entirely. An area of effect attack (something that engulfs the target) is nullified on a 5 or less.
Only one sphere can be expended per blow, but the subject may block any number of blows in a single combat turn as long as he is aware of the attack being made upon him. A spell cast by an unseen Mage or a sudden stab in the back alike cannot be deflected with this spell.
