Guardian Circle

Guardian Circle is a Master-level Restoration spell in .
==Effects==
Guardian Circle creates a circle around the caster that heals for 20 points every second while also repelling undead creatures up to level 35. It requires both hands to cast. Guardian Circle has a standard duration of 60 seconds, increased to 132 seconds if dual cast. As a vampire with the Necromage perk, the spell has a standard duration of 90 seconds, increased to 198 seconds if dual cast.
==Perks==
The effects are constant as a Master level spell, but duration is affected by the following perks:
*Master Restoration allows the spell to be cast for half Magicka.
*Dual Casting allows the spell to last for a longer duration.
*Necromage, if the Dragonborn is a vampire, increases the duration of the spell.
==Usefulness==
Combined with magic absorb from either the Atronach perk or The Atronach Stone, the caster has a limitless supply of Magicka as long as they are within the circle.
As a Master level spell, the listed effects are not altered by any perks. This combined with the long casting animation means it is ultimately less effective than a combination of high level healing spells and Circle of Protection; the latter combination will repel higher level undead and heal much more than Guardian Circle.

===Acquisition===
*Colette Marence at the College of Winterhold sells this spell after the completion of the Restoration Ritual Spell.
==Trivia==
*Unlike other healing spells, Guardian Circle's healing effect cannot be altered by any perks; Respite and Regeneration do not change the healing rate of 20 points per second and the spell has no effect on stamina, and casting it as a Vampire with Necromage will only affect its duration and heighten the max level at which undead will flee. The healing rate always remains static at 20 health points per second.
==Bugs==
* Sometimes, after completing the Restoration Ritual Spell quest, Colette Marence will not sell this spell.
**Fix: Reload save before accepting quest, and completing Augur's task using only restoration spells.
**Fix: Reloading a save, after the quest is finished but prior to speaking with Colette Marence to buy the tome for the first time, may fix this.
**Fix: Reload a save from before the ritual spell quest has been finished. To be sure, one should ask Collette what she has for sale, before heading for the Augur.
**Fix: Casting Bane of the Undead immediately after surviving the ghosts and after receiving the spell from the Augur. Then going to Colette Marence.
**Fix: Casting Bane of the Undead in front of Collette Marence may fix this bug.
** If on a PC, one may use the console command set MGRitualRestBook to 0 to set the correct stage. Colette should then have the tome for sale on the next inventory reset.
**Fix: Removing your follower from your service before talking to the Augr may prevent this bug. However, at lower levels this will make the trial significantly harder.
* Guardian Circle can be dual cast, however, the duration is still 60 seconds even though the Active Effects shows it is more than 2 minutes.
