This spell is used to protect the caster from stabbing, slashing, or piercing from hand to hand weapons. It acts by warping space locally so that any hit which would pierce the skin of the wizard is warped to the body of the attacker. Any damage which would have affected the wizard is instead inflicted upon his opponent. This is not at all effective against missile weapons (in this case, the warp has no close opponent to target) or blunt weapons (they do not penetrate the skin sufficiently if at all).
A wizard with this spell often exposes himself to deadly strikes and stands confident as his foes kill themselves. A foe who strikes for the kill at a wizard with this protection automatically takes maximum damage from the weapon, and if they rolled 5 or more than required to hit the wizard, receive a critical hit upon themselves.
The material component is a miniature lead sword which has been bent in half.
