You shield yourself with a magic barrier which can take a certain amount of damage for you, based on your mastery of this spell, before dissipating.
This spell gives you a number of Shield Points.
Shield Points are like extra HP, but cannot be healed by healing abilities.
When you would take damage, you may subtract that damage from your Shield Points instead of your HP.
If this reduces your Shield Points to 0, you take any remaining damage.
(ex: If you have 1 Shield Point left and you take 10 damage, the shield would break, and you would take 9 damage.)
When you run out of Shield Points from this spell, the shield breaks and the spell ends.
You can only have one Energy Shield at a time, but casting Energy Shield while you have another will refill your Energy Shield’s Shield Points.
Dispelling this spell removes your Energy Shield.
You can end this spell as a fast action (if for some reason you want to).
Suggested Backfire: You take your Energy Shield’s Shield Points in elemental damage.

You may Intensify this Arcane Burst even though it does not cost you an action to cast.
