Deflect

Abjuration (Ward)
Tier: 1
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 1 reaction or 1 major action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous
With a shout and a desperate gesture, you deflect the blow in a shower of blue sparks.

This spell grants you a +4 shield bonus to AC against a single attack (which must by incoming when you cast the spell).

You can cast this spell as a reaction when an enemy attacks you in melee.

Alternately, this spell can be used as a major action (usually to be readied against a ranged attack).

Augmentation:
For each extra spell point you invest, you can increase the AC bonus by 1 (up to a maximum total of 3 + [½ caster level])

If you cast this as a tier 4 spell, the attacker’s weapon shatters if the attack fails to hit your AC. Magic weapons are not subject to this effect, and creatures attacking with natural weapons instead take 2d6 sonic damage.
