Allowed items: orb only As a quick improvement over a conjured orb, which is just floating around the conjurer, this power imbues the orb with ability to intercept incoming attacks, deflecting them from conjurer. Of course this ability is not reliable, sometimes orb is in place to block an attack, sometimes not. And each blocked attack damages the orb a bit, depending on attack strength. The overall effect is similar to warrior\'s parry skill, only orb cannot block attacks indefinitely before its binding energy gives up. However, nowhere is written than conjurer cannot have another orb ready in inventory to replace destroyed one as needed.
