When hit in combat by any attack against physical armor, the recipient of this spell may make an effect test against the attack roll. If the effect tests exceeds the attack test, the recipient of the spell takes no effects from the attack.

Note: This is in some ways an improved Avoid Blow, but it does not protect against attacks Vs PD that apply to Mystic (or no) armor. But it does apply to Spells or other unavoidable effects that act against Physical Armor.

Double Strain

Targeting Eye

Threads: 3 Range: touch Effect:+2 to missile or thrown weapons Casting Difficulty: Target's Spell Defense Tool: A small charm made into an eyepatch

Weaving Difficulty: 11 / 19 Duration: Rank Hours

This spell allows the target to raise his Missile Weapon or Thrown Weapon talent by +2 by paying one strain for each round that the character takes advantage of the bonus.

This spell has a side effect of making the characters sighting eye being blocked by the charm, which must be worn for the duration of the spell. Removing the charm breaks the enchantment.
