Protection

Protection Miracle Creation Space Difficulty: 15
Create an unseeable wall to prevent enemy movement and attacks.

Effect: Create a transparent, flat wall within Area: 120m Radius of the caster that is at most 5m tall and 5m wide. This wall cannot be created in such a way that it overlaps with other objects, obstacles, or characters.

This wall prevents character movement, weapon-based melee and ranged attacks, and magic attacks that launch true entities such as Fireball or Magic Missile.

Should a character attempt to move through the wall, the wall will perform movement obstruction (p. 142) against them. The total check score when Protection was cast is used as the movement obstruction check score. If the movement obstruction succeeds, the character trying to move through the wall must end their movement right in front of it.

When a melee attack, ranged attack, or magic attack that launches a true entity is performed in such a way that it would pass through the wall, compare (p. 128) that attack’s hit check or spell use check score with the original Protection’s check score. Whoever used the attack or spell is considered the passive side for this comparison. If the total check score when Protection was cast is higher, it prevents the attack or spell from passing through.

The caster can use a free action on their turn to move the wall up to 5m in any direction. When they do, any characters who would collide with the wall are pushed with it. However, if there is a solid obstruction in the way, the caster cannot move the wall beyond it. Pushed characters will be shoved into said obstruction, but they won’t take damage from that.

This wall remains for as long as the caster uses spell maintenance.
