Virial Bulwark (Shield Magic Property)
Virial Bulwark (Shield Magic Property)
You must be level 21 or higher to equip, wield or wear an item with this property.
Shields with this property can be of any appearance.
As a standard action, the wielder may command the shield to create an invisible wall of ineffable, invincible force.
This invisible wall of force completely fills a number of squares based upon the character level of the wearer, at least one of which must be adjacent to their space, and all of which must be adjacent to another square filled with the effect. Each square of the invisible wall is ten feet high and five feet wide, and always has square corners, so it must be gone around the long way. If the wearer of the shield is between 1st and tenth level, one square is filled. Two squares manifest per activation at levels 11th to 20th, 3 squares at levels 21st to 30th, and four squares at levels 31 and higher.
Once created the invisible wall persists until the end of the next combat the wearer participates in, and no longer. The virial barriers do not move, and can be Sundered to destroy them, using the Maneuver Defense of the wearer of the shield plus the total enhancement bonus of the shield, with a Durability of one per square. If the wearer activates the shield multiple times, the various manifestations can be placed adjacent to one another and they merge seamlessly. In this way, cylindrical, square, and other shapes can be built up.
The virial barrier is invisible to all sight-based senses, but it completely block line of sight to all other senses and blocks line of effect, granting total cover to all creatures on both sides. It cannot be moved through in any way, although it can often be moved around.
