Harrowing Spell (Feat) item

spellguard bracers = add scaling bonuses to cast defensively, adds temp hitpoints when casting while threatened, adds +1 circle if manaburning a spell by at least two levels while threatened

the bonuses to manaburning are painful, but how the temps scale needs some thinking to offset.  temps BEFORE casting, or after?  could be another knob... OR, temps merely when casting under threat?  this might be more useful

bear in mind that casting defensively can NEVER provoke. You are only checking to see if you lose the spell or not. Which does beg the question... in my opinion, it would be more in keeping with how Epic Path works that defensive casting is 'do I provoke or not', instead of 'do I lose my spell or not'. (losing a spell is passive and boring; casting it but taking damage is active and interesting.) I think the only reason it is currently the way it is, is because there is a line of feats (Spellbreaker?) that let you actually make an AOO on a failed concentration check, in addition to them losing the spell. Since monsters rarely cast spells, these feats are pretty bad, so I would not object to changing this rule and deleting those feats. Thoughts?

I am tentatively pleased by this line of thought. these pesky bracers are getting gud. :)
