| Description | You can surround a target with a protective layer of elemental energy for as long as you concentrate, or you can spend a spell point to allow the spell to continue without concentration for 1 minute per BCB; and may dismiss the spell as a 3 AP action. When using Elemental Shell, the caster selects an elemental affinity talent that they possess. The target gains Resist 1 against this element; this Resist increases by 1 for every 4 BCB against the selected affinity. A creature may have only one elemental shell active at a time; subsequent castings overwrite an existing Elemental Shell. |
