This spell erects a barrier of force and fire that protects the target creature from sound, heat, physical attacks and most targeted spells. The barrier does not protect against negative energy, mental attacks and other non-targeted spells. The barrier damages every creature that is within a certain radius of it. Fire damage is half of the barrier's max hp.
Note 1: Custom versions of the Barrier spell can be created by mixing in Barrier traits (Barrier sphere, Energy Barrier, Long Barrier, Necro Barrier are a few examples). These traits usually have tradeoffs. For instance, they can decrease a barrier's durability or increase the number of spell slots required to cast the spell.
Note 2: Multiple barriers can stack just like layers of armor, but this increases the difficulty of the barrier. The spellcaster can layer at most 1 barrier for every 5 Intelligence points (e.g. 2 barriers with +10 INT)
Note 3: A barrier spell can be scaled using the Overcast ability.
