Mana shield
7% of base mana
Instant cast
Absorbs 500 damage, while the shield holds 20% of the mana spend by the mage increases the amount absorbed. Lasts 1 min.
You cast Mana Shield, cast a ABar (cost 1000 mana points) on a warrior. Your Mana shield will absorb 700 and so on. It can be purged so you have to recast and start over again. If you recive more damage than the absorb value acumulated it gets destroyed. You have to recast and start again.
With this simple change to the spell you have fixed mana shield drain. Arcane mages can use Incanters Absorbtion and Arcane Shielding can be changed to "Increases the absorb value per mana point spend while Mana Shield is active by 15% and increases the resistances granted by Mage Armor by 50%."
Of course you can change values to adjust it. Put a max absorb value or only increase the absorb value from the mana costs of damaging spells. A cd or something.
In short: The more mana spend the better Mana Shield. If you are super ofensive your Mana Shield will be better and no more selfdrain.
Sorry for my english
If you have a beta key and you like this mana shield idea post it in the arcane tree feedback thread in the beta forum. Thx.
PD: I love this threat. Keep it up!!
