Animal shield is
an impressed and focused spell. The adept prepares a large, roaring bonfire and
hangs a bag
of coal ash above it. While chanting and
screaming, she tosses pieces of animal skins onto the fire. The smoke from the
burning skins glow red and concentrates in and around the bag. Later, the adept
pours out ash from the bag to form a circle of ash around the area to be protected. While touching the
ash circle, the adept releases the spell. The circle can be; up to 20 meters in
diameter. The ash is good for one use. The spell protects those within the
circle from attacks by wild beasts. The spell uses a test attack on any earth1y creature attempting to enter the circle. Compare the effect value of the spell to the animal's Mind or willpower. Read
the result points on the Power Push Table. Thespel1's result modifier is +6.
Find the final result points on the test column of the Interaction Results
Table. Animals with a Mind of 6 or less are
automatically setback, preventing them from entering the circle.
