Spirit Armor (Necromancy)
Level 4 Arcane Spells IWD
Range: Touch
Duration: 3 turns
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None
This spell is very similar to the 3rd level spell Ghost Armor in that it creates a corporeal barrier around the targets body for the duration of the spell. This spell however, actually taps in to the targets life force in order to create the barrier. The armor itself is weightless, and does not hinder movement or spell casting at all. The Spirit Armor does not work cumulatively with any other armor, however dexterity bonus' still apply as well as magic rings and a shield. While in effect the AC (armor class) of the recipient will be 1, as if he was wearing plate mail. Also, due to the magical nature of the spell, he will also recieve a +3 bonus to save vs. magical attacks. There is a danger however, as when the spell runs out the external portion of the spirit is temporarily lost, inflicting 2d4 points of damage upon the target.
