Dispersion Shell
Magisters of the Amethyst, whilst being those whom believe they must keep 'balance' in the cycle, are also those whom most often seek to circumvent it whilst alive and conscious. Nowhere is that more evident than in spell-forms such as this.
Effect
Basic Effects: Weaving the manna of Lobhadh around yourself like a thick sludge like coating, you prepare for impact, and not just one, but many. This is a maintained spell-form but you cannot lose focus on it within the first minute, it is only during the 10 minutes of dispersion that you can lose it.
When you use this spell, which must be a reaction to an attack or assault (so like an explosion or other source of damage against you), you keep track of all damage against you starting with the instance of damage against you that you weave the spellform in response to. However you do NOT lose any Wounds from any of those instances of damage over that time frame. For that one minute, you do not take any damage, it all being absorbed and converted into the slow moving sludge of Lobhadh all about you. So keep a running total. After that minute is up, over the ten minutes, all the damage manifests at a minute by minute rate. So let us say you took 60 points of damage over that minute. Over that ten minutes of dispersion, you take 6 damage a minute. If at any point you somehow were to lose concentration on this spellform during the dispersion period, you would take any remaining damage all at once. It also converts all incoming damage that it stores into necrotic damage, which is the type of damage it is when you take it, and any resistances you have do apply, though you cannot heal from or be immune to this damage.
This spell-form naturally makes magisters of the Amethyst with a moderately high level of skill a truly potent force, capable of being caught in truly devastating situation and walking away from those high risk situations relatively unscathed, with a level of survivability that boggles the imagination.

Manifestation
Fizzelle von Boom stared down at the woman Shayliss in complete shock. Physically the injuries should be lethal. Her hip bone was clean sheared in half, her upper left thigh entirely missing. Her torso shredded, muscle and bone visible from the raking of the mighty sword-tooth's claws. Yet the Amethyst magister held on, her blood barely flowing forth from the physical injuries, slowly like drops of the thickest grease you could imagine. Even through the pain, the suffering, and the obvious blood loss, she held her focus, the strange flickering purple aura all around her the only thing Fizzie could begin to guess was keeping her alive after the mauling. As she did her best to carefully strap the woman into her gyrocopter flying machine, Fizzie found herself muttering prayers to whatever of the Ascended would listen. "I don't have the medical prowess, much less the magickal ability to treat this. I just hope I can keep her stable and her magick is powerful enough to have bought her enough time. She should be dead, but you can't take her now, you let her make it this far."
