Farshield (Far-Shield)

Farshield is the artificial spell created and generated by Jane Venn as a means to generate a 100% effective Power Shield to a mobile predetermined location while changing the composition shape to that of a thick and solid wall of energy. Farshield takes its form in a 1 foot thick shield wall with a malleable shape, though one with an average length of 2 meters and width if 1 meter. This wall floats in space where it is generated and is constantly powered by the wielder. The shield itself, including its function, lifeline, and energy source is all the same for that of a Power Shield technique. In this format however, the user is not totally protected from all sides since the wall only covers a specific area. By covering a certain area, the shield itself can withstand a lot more in terms of total defense. But to top off this advantage, the user can also attack immediately after dropping this shield, which wasn't possible when dropping an ordinary power shield given the extra stress to the magical circuits for covering an entire area. In fact, experienced users of Farshield can generate this wall with only one of the two hands, while that wielder can in theory use additional magic for attacking with their other free hand simultaneously. Farshields cannot be regenerated immediately after one collapses, which is a disadvantage that stays with this upgraded spell. And since Farshield is ineffective against area attacks, they are not always the best protective spell. The final advantage of a Farshield is that the wielder can spawn this shield wherever they want to, which means they can extend their powers to protect somebody other than themselves during either a team battle or a complex conflict. Best used against low-coverage projectile barrages.

Discovery

Jane Venn is the sole inventor of this ability. She refined her specific variation of Power Shield to use the same ability without being physically confined to her own aura, with the additional advantage of taking initiative after dropping this kind of shield.

Gestures & Ritual

The wielder must project this magical energy from one or both open hands in the direction of the energy wall to be generated to power the energy field. The wielder can lower their arms and hands as a means of cutting all power to the shield and causing it to collapse on their terms, or simply shut off the MP projection from their hands to stop the aura early. The amount of MP usage differs between the initial generation of the shield and the time it takes to keep the shield going.
