Description	While this ability is active, any hostile spell targeted at the caster has a 75% chance of being absorbed into the Fade, draining mana instead. Once all mana has been depleted, the shield collapses.

Spell Shield is a mage spell from the Spirit tree in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information

• Spell resistance bonus: 75.0%. Mana Drain (on caster, on hostile spell impact): (Hostile Spell Base Mana Cost) + 10.0.
• Conjuration time: 1s.

Notes

• Upkeep is in Mana.
• Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: The spell can be cast with your weapon(s) drawn.
• Spell Resistance granted by this spell stacks with those from other sources. However, if the mana pool is not high enough to withstand incoming hostile spells, the check will always fail, even if the character has high spell resistance without the Spell Shield.
• The "absorption" effect is part of a successful spell resistance check; it is not a second layer of protection against hostile spells.
