Soul Ward (319) is a new defensive spell now available to Clerics. Below is the spell description (which can also be found at http://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=7#319 ):

In the year 5114, by Koar's command, one of his high priests organized people of all faith to come together and commune to ask for assistance in combating the Shadows. The Arkati responded by bestowing their Clerics with a powerful protective ward through the Soul Ward spell. Soul Ward will shield the caster from the first attack any from opponent. Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Blessings[/LINK] provides for a chance to negate subsequent attacks. The chance of success is 1% at 1 lore ranks, and has a maximum of 19% at 190 lore ranks. In addition, a Cleric may INFUSE SPIRIT which will allow them to avoid an additional attack from all present opponents in the room at the cost of 1 spirit point. This ability may also be used while under a status effect (stunned, roundtime, etc) at the cost of 2 spirit points.

My personal thanks to GameMaster Kenstrom for incorporating this spell's release into his Cross into Shadows storyline, GameMaster Xayle for writing the spell's messaging, and GameMaster Mestys for QC and releasing the spell when I could not be available.
