## Details

File:NaturalMagicShieldExample.png

Reduce the damage from Long-Ranged Physical and Earth Alchemy attacks.

* Causes a spherical magical shield barrier to appear around the user, reducing Ranged Attack and Earth Alchemy damage done to the user and anyone within the area of effect.
	+ The following skills are negated by the barrier:
		- Ranged Attack
		- Magnum Shot
		- Arrow Revolver
		- Mirage Missile
		- Throwing Attack
		- Final Shot
		- Sand Burst
	+ Those within the barrier will not be stunned or knocked back unless sufficient damage is dealt.
	+ Also those behind the barrier will be protected in the same manner.
* Any attack from within the magic shield will not be blocked unless there is a 2nd magic shield.
	+ In addition, players cannot attack enemies from within the area of effect with ranged attacks.
* The caster cannot move or do anything while the barrier is up.
	+ However if the caster is struck by an attack other than range, even if the caster does not fall back, the shield will cancel.
* In order to satisfy the "Shield attacks with more than one Natural Shield" training requirement, you must be the one hit by an arrow with your shield up, in addition to having someone else's natural magic shield up at the same time and overlapping yours.
* The more Natural Shields overlap, the less damage Ranged Attack and Earth Alchemy will do.
* *Currently capped at rank 6*.
	+ Natural Shield is expected to be uncapped in G14.
