Spellguard

Cast only during the breather. The party gains a flat damage bonus and a flat resistance bonus for the opening of the wave. Banks 4 Ward. Pre-wave Ward decays until the first point is spent.

Inscribe a rune on the ground. Anyone standing in it gains flat damage and flat resistance paying into their Mitigation budget. Generates 1 Ward per second while an ally stands inside. Overlapping sigils do not stack.

A sustained beam onto one enemy, with no falloff. While it runs, up to 5 allies who damage that enemy heal a capped amount per second, and the beam generates 1 Ward per second.

Place an absorb pool on a target that expires when spent, paying into that ally's Mitigation budget. A second shell refreshes rather than stacks. 3 per caster, 8 party-wide.

Charge an ally's weapon with elemental damage for a limited number of hits. 1 empowered ally per caster, 4 party-wide.

Consumes 0–5 Ward, your choice of amount. A pulse that knocks enemies away and damages them, scaling with the Ward spent, and a cleanse for allies caught in it.

Consumes your entire Ward bank. Conjure a guardian that attaches to a chosen ally and fights beside them. If that ally falls while it stands, it spends itself to revive them. 1 per Spellguard, 2 party-wide.
