Entropic Shield
Magisters of the Amethyst Order are unique in many aspects of their magickal practice and this spell-form in particular is one that stands out. For this spell form is one that even seems to counter the innovation of smokepowder weapons, a rare thing indeed.
Effect
Basic Effects: Guiding and weaving the thick syrup of Lobhadh, drawing the bits of it forth from all around, you bring forth a shroud like mist or haze of a deep purple color that begins to envelope yourself and your other targets. This haze is only visible in the Material Realm briefly, fading back into the Aether as you finish the weaving, but its effects are long lasting. For the duration of this spell-form, yourself and your chosen targets have Resistance to any and all damage from all ranged projectile attacks (including firearms) and such attacks are against the Momentum when attempted on you and your chosen targets. Such projectiles are sapped of the very energy and momentum that drives them forward by this shield or shroud of entropy around you all, altering the energy driving them, recycling it, which shows as a brief flash of purple, or a sudden cracking sound, like a bullwhip perhaps. This shroud also does effect ranged spell attacks (but not area of effect spells, only those that are actually single target ranged attacks).
Side/Secondary Effects
Tier II Effects: You may effect up to two additional targets in range.
Tier III Effects: You may effect up to two additional targets in range.
Tier III Effects: You may effect up to two additional targets in range.
Manifestation
Calmly, with steady hands despite the laughing of the mad goblins, and the alchemical hissing and blasts of their unstable and crude, but dangerous attempts at firearms. Carlyle wove the flows of Entropy around and within himself and his friends, bringing a purplish haze to become visible briefly all about them. As it faded back into the Aether, he stepped out confidently, leading by example, as the greenskin's wild contraptions simply whizzed by harmlessly wide, or seemed to lose all momentum, barely able to scratch him. They would strike with no more force than that of a child throwing a pebble, losing all momentum, as the strange shroud flashed and flared brightly around him, loud snaps and cracks echoing off with each projectile that entered it.
