Barriers reduce incoming damage for your character, and possibly your allies. They generally appear as a bluish-purple shimmering field around the target's body, or as a wall or dome. Barriers can be selective or exclusive at the caster's discretion, allowing friendly healing and allies to pass through while halting hostile bullets and plasma.

Activation: Action (Magic d) +2 Strain to cast, (Concentration on further turns to maintain), Single target, Engaged Range, Augment

Until the end of this character's next Turn, the target reduces all Wounds received by 1, and further reduces it by 1 per uncancelled ss (not including the first). If the caster becomes out of Range, this ability instantly ends on the target.
