Runic Barrier

A spell developed by, and primarily used by Ludovic, the god of polecats.

Effect

A large barrier decorated with runes appears in front of the caster. The barrier is in the shape of a domed shield, and roughly 15 feet in diameter. It lasts as long as the user can channel it, and may have different effects based on the runes used.

Side/Secondary Effects

The runic barrier is not immune to damage, and when struck, be it physically or with magic, will crack like a thick sheet of glass or ice. This can be repaired by funneling more of one's aura into it, but it can take up to 30 seconds for the cracks to mend. When broken or unable to sustain itself, the barrier will shatter and dissipate.

Source

This spell is cast from a variety of runes with the user's aura channeled into them.

Gestures & Ritual

To cast runic barrier, one must channel their aura into runes actively, and it will remain as long as they uphold it. Although adding different runes to it can change the effects of the barrier, the Soul and Shelter runes must be combined, surrounded by four Ferret runes.
Adding elemental runes (fire, water, wind, earth, lightning) will make the barrier more resistant to those used. Adding the Dragon rune makes it more resistant to all attacks from a dragon.
By being specific in what one wishes to protect against, they can nullify most attacks against them as long as the barrier is up.
