BARRIER

BARRIER
Syntax: commune 'barrier

This spell surrounds the caster with a shield against physical damage.  
However, the upkeep of this spell is very stressful.  The caster would 
have to put in more mental energy every time a physical attack is directed 
at him in order to deflect the damage toward him.  Once the caster's mana 
has been depleted, the barrier will disappear.
