The axe bounces aside in a shower of sparks an instant before it would have taken off your arm.

When wakened, this rune protects you from physical attacks. Each attack against you has a 20% chance to be deflected.

When you are struck, the protective aura emits a blinding flash of light, blinding all creatures (except the bearer) within 5 ft unless they succeed on a Reflex save.

Runic Power:
The rune grants you a 40% miss chance.
