[edit] Description

Defender increases the Melee and Ranged Defense of all friendly targets by 50% when they are defending against an attack.

Level: 2 Cost: 3

[edit] Comments

An unusual spell, this would at first glance appear to be much superior to the level 3 spell, Celestial Armor which boosts defence by 25%, however the effective bonus of this spell is reduced by the fact that it doesn't provide protection from retaliatory attacks (as your creature is then attacking, not defending).
