Spirit Augmentation

Spirit Augmentation is an ability used by the monks of the Monastic Order.

A monk skilled in the channeling of thaumaturgy can use his inner light to bolster the very spirit that weaves and binds his body together. Such augmentation will render the monk's body resistant to damage from any source, though once damaged enough, the augmentation's effects will fade.

This ability causes each hit location on the monk's body to receive 100 points of spirit augmentation. Each hit in an augmented location will only deal half damage, and that damage will be reduced from that body part's augmentation points. Once augmentation points reach 0, that body part will no longer benefit from the damage reduction, though other body parts will remain augmented until they too are damaged enough for the effects to fade on them.

Usage: cast 201

Energy cost: 100

(This ability is meant to be a preemptive/preparatory spell, not one that is constantly re-cast whenever the effects wear off - hence the high energy cost)
