Shield
CharacterShield is a defensive working within Magic, the spell-based fighting that Wing Bind's witches and wizards practice. Every member can raise it: a small rectangular barrier that snaps up in front of the caster to turn away an incoming attack.
Appearance
The Shield forms as a compact, rectangular pane of force called up directly ahead of the caster's body. Magic as a whole is worked through the handguns that Wing Bind members carry.
Abilities
Under the wider craft of Magic, witches and wizards loose spells of many kinds, offensive, protective, and disabling alike, all drawing on an unnamed energy source in a way that parallels the Soul Society's Kido. Shield is the common defensive option every member can fall back on. A separate branch, the Inks, casts instead by spraying drawn symbols keyed to Release Codes and set off with an unlocking command.
