The Protection traditions encompasses the many different efforts to mitigate the worst the world might throw at casters. From simple wards to elaborate security systems, it’s magic can mean the difference between life and death. ===== Talents ===== //**Forceful Removal:**// You can use an action to drive back your foes. Each creature in your reach makes a Strength roll. On a failure, you push the creature 5 yards away from you. At level 3, a creature also takes 1d6 damage. At level 7, a creature also takes 2d6 damage instead. On a critical failure, the creature also falls prone. //**Mystic Aegis:**// You can use an action to create a protective field. Target one creature within 5 yards. Glittering tracery appears around the target for 1 minute. The effect imposes 1 bane on rolls to attack the target. When the tar get takes damage, it can choose to end the effect early to reduce the damage it takes by 2d6. You can use this talent once, twice at level 3, and three times at level 7. You regain expended uses after you rest. //**Secure Door:**// You can use an action to seal shut a door. Target one door, gate, window, or similar object you can see within 10 yards. The target shuts and stays shut for 8 hours. Attempts to open it by any creature other than you fail, though the target can be destroyed normally. You can use this talent once, twice at level 3, and three times at level 7. You regain expended uses after you rest. //**Ward Site:**// You can perform a ritual to make a site secure. Target one Size 5 space within 10 yards. When you finish, a faint light appears on the edge of the space and winks out. For 8 hours, creatures inside the target space are invisible to creatures outside the space and no sound they make emanates beyond the target space. Finally, if an enemy enters the space, you know it and this knowledge wakens you if you are asleep. You can use this talent once. You regain the use of it after you rest. ===== Novice Spells ===== {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Circle_Of_Daggers&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Concealing_Ward&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Lightning_Wall&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Magic_Ward&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Resistance_To_Damage&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Shimmering_Shield&link&doindent}} ===== Expert Spells ===== {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Corrective_Measure&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Lift_Curse&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Repulsion&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Reveal_Refuge&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Ward_Against_Harm&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Whisk_Away&link&doindent}} ===== Master Spells ===== {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Bestow_Invulnerability&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Columns_And_Shackles&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Disruption_Field&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Forbidden_Zone&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Supreme_Security&link&doindent}} {{page>weird-wizard:spells:Word_Of_Escape&link&doindent}}
