Magic Shield

It's extremely handy for Mages. Note that mana blocked hits do not increase Magic Level. While this spell is active, all damage received will be displayed in the Game console as Blue Text and the following icon will appear in your condition bar: . The Magic Shield only absorbs a limited amount of damage before breaking. When this mana is depleted the spell effect disappears. The amount of mana it absorbs depends on the character's Level and Magic Level, including equipment and skill boosts active at the moment the spell is cast, according to this formula (rounded up to the next whole number), where L is your level and M is your magic level: Magic Shield Capacity = 7M + 7.6L + \max\300, 0.4L \ If you have unlocked the Enhanced Magic Shield Conviction Perk on the Sorcerers' Wheel of Destiny, then the formula is: Magic Shield Capacity = 8M + 8.6L + \max\300, 0.4L \ Recasting the spell restores the shield to its maximum value. While the spell is on cooldown, mages can renew the shield by using a Magic Shield Potion. The Magic Shield can be removed by casting the Cancel Magic Shield spell.
