Fire's Warding

This spell is a part of the Fire's Heat spell chain and is found in the Fire's Heat rune stone.

With this spell you summon forth the dark source of light, The Fire. The spirit of Fire offers warding to the protected target for a price, coating the protected target in a red glow. Any magic spell except aquamancy done to the protected target will be redirected back to the attacker. Any arrows or crossbow bolts will be burnt away before they can affect the protected. Any other projectiles or thrown will do half damage. Any melee attacks against the protected will cause the attacker 1d8 burn damage to Vitality for 1d6 rounds. The protected will suffer 1d4 burn damage to Vitality per round for the duration of the spell.
