#20 Barrier Spells (optional)

Contents

Limited to a PC holding a 19-04 Barrier school. Distribution by dan: 1 dan 6 / 3 dan 5 / 5 dan 4 / 7 dan 3 / 9 dan 2. Base Energy by dan count 2 / 2+2 / 3+3 / 4+4 / 5+5 — fine adjustment per spell.

Integrated attack category statement: all Barrier spells in this §15 are of the [Incorporeal] attack (protection) category — because they are own-side Barrier/purification effects, the §Exorcism exemption table is not applied. The yoma entry-resistance check is processed by this §11 Barrier Wounds rule regardless of the target yoma's Exorcism stage.

Integrated failure handling: when any Barrier spell fails — the Barrier does not manifest. Slot consumed.
