Armor of Darkness

The benefit to Armor of Darkness is that this ultimate protective shield is fully as mobile as the wielder is. Once the shield is running, the wielder can move around and attack with additional spells freely without having to continue focusing on the protective aura. This aura does absolutely nothing to specifically protect non-physical objects or clothing, instead it is designed to protect biological creatures or the wielder invoking the spell. Of course, unprotected dress spheres would also naturally be protected anyway as the aura extends beyond the range of the outfits anyway. When active, Armor of Darkness will continue to run either until the wielder shuts down the aura, or when the aura has sustained too much damage and collapses. All damage impacting this aura makes a very distinct sound known as "damage rejection," which is a higher pitch cacophonic screeching sound mixed with photonic resonance repulsion to the impact area. Many keep this in mind because the same sound can be heard from the infamous Power Shield aura operating in much the same way. With Armor of Darkness active, this protective aura can be used to defend while attacking, making it the most popular support spell in the wild. The aura however can be shut down with an opposing Horrordime ability.

Effect

Support Form: Damage Protection Aura
Support Type: Support Aura
Glyphring: False

Side/Secondary Effects

The aura is mostly transparent, but the waviness of the aura's bubbly texture can be a little distracting to the user.

Manifestation

This cool dark red and wavy aura surrounds the user's entire body, protecting that wielder from all elements of damage with 99.9% effectiveness. The aura runs on a long timer of 12 minutes. For Leray battles, that might as well be an infinite amount. The protection level however is the main limit. Once the aura sustains a certain amount of accumulative damage, it will eventually shut off long before the twelve minute timer is up. The visual effects are said to somewhat resemble Armor Protector, but they are not the same spells.
