Aegis Minervae

Minerva's aegis turns the counter aside.

A passive magic battle art — no cost, no cooldown. It only works while you carry a magic weapon; with anything else in hand it lies dormant.

What it does

Incoming damage x0.90 from the style that counters yours, x0.98 otherwise

Best when you are the one being hunted: a mage has no shield but this.

How to learn it

Craft the Scroll of Aegis Minervae with Enchanting (skill 45). The scroll itself is Scroll of Aegis Minervae; a second copy is wasted once the art is known.

You hold one art active at a time — see Battle Arts for the full list and Combat for how a swing resolves.
