Intervention is a defensive spell in Theurgy.

Spell Description[edit]

Once cast, the spell will surround the theurgist with an impenetrable wall of air that blocks all attacks of foes for around 2–3 minutes. However, while the theurgist cannot be injured in combat, lava and water are still deadly to the caster.

Lore[edit]

One of the most powerful abilities of the Theurgist is to call into existence a wall of air that blocks all damaging forces. While this spell can make the mightiest sword blow feel like a tap, it will not prevent death from immersion in lava or drowning in water.

While this spell will protect the caster from all blows and striking attacks, it will not protect the caster from immersion in lava or drowning in Water. The Focus for this spell resembles a fist and the words used are 'In Sanct An Jux.'
