This spell can be used only by templars. When a templar's sigil is presented and this spell is invoked, the priest is affected as if the hand of the sorcerer-kings spell had been cast. The shimmering field created diffuses magical energy, giving the templar a +2 bonus against all spells cast against him or her.
The sigil is also empowered with the ability to cause fear by touch for the duration of the spell.
Notes: Restricted to templars from the Dark Sun setting, for whom it is common.
