Strife:Barrier effect

M Points of Barrier for T seconds

This spell effect is only castable using the Eternal Spellbook.

For an incoming spell effect of magnitude N, Barrier stops M points of the spell effects magnitude from taking effect on the entity affected by Barrier.

If Barriers M magnitude is greater than the spell effects N magnitude, the spell effect does not take effect at all, instead negating N from the Barriers magnitude M applied to the user. If the spell effects magnitude N is greater than Barriers M, then Barrier is dispelled and the spell effect takes effect on the user of Barrier for (N - M) points. If a spell effect has no magnitude, this will not affect the user or their Barrier spell. If the spell effect has a magnitude and time, the only magnitude negated from Barriers M is the initial second taking effect on the Barrier user only if its initial second of N is greater than Barriers M, in which for the following spell effect duration it takes full effect on the user for N points.
