By enshrouding herself and her groupmates in protective magics drawn from divine grace, a mage of the spirit sphere can ward allies against negative influences. This spell reduces the damage taken from a variety of evil sources, such as undead, demons, and magical damage of type harm, negative, or defilement. As its power is drawn from the holiness of the one shielded, the effectiveness of this aegis will vary according to the aura of the ally. Those of evil bent will find no succor at all, while those with the purest souls will be greatly protected. This spell may be cast before it has expired, allowing a mage to maintain it evenly on the whole group.
