Effect
The spell functions as an extreme epic version of magical force armor, granting the caster a +40 armor bonus to AC for three days.
Because the bonus type is an armor bonus under the legacy rules, it should be handled using 3.x bonus-stacking rules rather than added blindly to another armor bonus.
Edition Status
- 5.5e / 2024: no epic spell-development subsystem; do not convert +40 legacy armor directly into modern AC.
- 5e / 2014: no direct epic equivalent.
- Pathfinder 1e: not a core PF1e spell.
- D&D 3.5e: built using the epic armor-seed framework, but this developed spell is third-party Dicefreaks material.
