(New) HEB

As has been said, Heezlewurst's Elemental Buffer has experienced a few changes lately to make it a bit more useful. The main this has been its reduction from mind size 60 to mind size 30. The gps it spends have also lowered (at least for only one crystal) to under 150, but it has been implied that using more crystals 'scales drastically'.

As to the output, it has varied very slightly. The spell stages are the same as they used to be:

You prepare to cast Heezlewurst's Elemental Buffer on a small yellow crystal.
You examine a small yellow crystal.
You sense the magical field of the octogram.
You observe the symmetries of a small yellow crystal and the octogram.
You hold a small yellow crystal tightly in a fist.
You drop a small yellow crystal into the centre of the octogram.
A small yellow crystal and the octogram seem to twist and merge into a hazy yellow stream of light, which rises and surrounds you.

During the duration of the spell, a new line is added to reflect your magic protection: You are protected by an elemental shield against damage xxx (yellow is gas, blue is cold; presumably, green is still acid, red fire attacks, and all fours 'plasma', which might come handy for Spears or Dragons, perhaps.

The duration and the amount of protection/damage soaked have also increased (in the second case, maybe even doubled), which might make it a big piece more useful, at least for PK wizard fights...
