I hate them so much that I've released a new spell just so I can hit them harder:

Aspirant's Aegis is a straightforward spell that was developed to protect new Paladins during combat training. It will blunt physical blows that might otherwise cripple a squire while still allowing enough pain to encourage swift improvement. An amusing, if unintended, side effect of the spell's development is that it encourages mentors to swiftly instill the fundamentals of magic in their students so that the students may learn to ward themselves, for the spell takes quite a toll on the caster when manifest about another.

This will serve as a new introduction to the Sacrifice spellbook. It's 1 slot, no preqs, intro warding. Abbreviation is 'AA'. It is in both Test and Plat.

Feels like MPP. A noticeably strong physical damage barrier that's easy to cast (basic), lasts long and doesn't ablate. Very appropriate. Tested and loving it.

Casting on others temporarily drops vit, conc and stam, which I like as a side effect. MPP and AA don't seem to work any better together but I'm guessing that's intentional. AA works beautifully with MAF.

Thanks, Raesh! You rock!

Me too! I tested it with a circle 2 pallie against a bard with well over 600 brawling- and the punch that should have platted me hurt some, but barely scratched me otherwise.

If we get the engagement spell soon, it will truely be a paladin christmas ^_^

A good while back now paladins were told we were approved to get a spell that prevents retreating/hiding from us. Probably referring to that spell.

Aspirant's Aegis is an introductory warding spell, correct?
