Aegis of shielding

Aegis of shielding was a basic magical warding power of of shielding swordmages.

Effects
When a swordmage cast aegis of shielding, they forged a magical link between themselves and a single foe within. When the foe attacked an ally of the swordmage, the link hampered their efforts, making their strikes less effectual. If the enemy succeeded in their attack, the swordmage could use the link to create a magical shield between the enemy and their ally, substantially reducing the deadliness of the attack.
