| Skill subtype: | Passive Defense |
| Primary user: | Earth templar |
| Requirements: | a weapon wielded with two hands |
| Syntax: | Automatic |
An earth templar wielding a two-handed weapon is able to cause blocks of stone to rise up in formation with him, defending him against blows and allowing him to counterattack. This skill is ineffective where there is no solid ground beneath the templar. Devotion to one's weapon makes this skill more effective, and wielding a single-handed weapon with both hands will not be as effective for the purposes of this skill as using a weapon balanced for this purpose. This will fail in a room where no magic at all can be cast.
This skill is most effective against daggers, axes, and staves, and least effective against spears, whips, and polearms. Hitroll assists with penetrating this defense.
