By casting this spell, the wizard appears to be covered in a mist of water. One version is coloured blueish green; the other is coloured violet or blue. Any creature striking the wizard with body or hand-held weapons will inflict normal damage upon the wizard, but the attacker will take double the damage so inflicted. The other powers of this spell depend on the variation being used:
Blueish green: any electrical attacks will be saved at +2 on the die, and will do either half damage (if the saving throw is failed) or no damage at all (if the saving throw is made). Acid based attacks are normal, but if the wizard fails the required saving throw, he sustains double damage. The material component for this version is a bit of tree gum.
Violet or blue: any acid attacks will be saved at +2 on the die and will do either half damage (on an unsuccessful saving throw) or no damage (if the saving throw is successful). Electrical attacks are normal, but if the wizard fails to make the required saving throw he sustains double damage from that attack. The material component for this version is an alkaline substance.
