Covering

Name

Chrenedict's Corporeal Covering - Protective skin.

Description

Chrenedict's Corporeal Covering is a second order defensive spell which temporarily gives the target a protective skin. The kind of defense depends on the component used as "skin-modifying agent":

* chalk powder -a stone skin which protects against sharp and pierce attacks.
* latex powder -a rubbery skin which protects against pierce and blunt attacks.
* metal filings -a skin covered with a metallic net, which protects against sharp and blunt attacks.

Note that you can recast the spell on the same target multiple times to strengthen the skin protection (up to a limit), but the different kinds of protection do not mix.
