'ETHER WARD' Syntax: cast 'ether ward' <target> One of five wards available to the Riftward, the ether ward holds the powers of the plane of Serin. It provides a significant defensive bonus in the form of ARMOR CLASS. CAST EFFECT: A small replenishment of mana to the target (note that this amount does not exceed the casting cost of this spell, meaning it can't be used by the Riftward to generate mana.) ENDURING EFFECT: A significant bonus to AC. This bonus scales with the caster's level. In addition, while affected by ether ward, the Riftward's energy-based spells will do more damage. These include VOID BOLT, DISRUPT, and SOUL SHATTER. (Note that although ENTROPIC CASCADE is energy damage, it is not enhanced by ether ward since the damage originates from the room itself.)
