Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

So i got this idea from the original Diablo game. They had a spell in that game known as mana shield which allowed a mage to transfer any damage to his mana instead of health. Now obviously such cant work here since nwn2 magic system uses spell slots instead of mana but there is a way to make it work.

Instead of having it a spell make it a feat. When the feat is activated it will completely absorb 1 attack but in so doing it will also expend one of your prepared spells. While the feat is active it will continue to absorb attacks but also continue to expend your prepared spells until you have none left at which point the feat deactivates and is unusable until your spell slots are refreshed.

Thoughts?

Similar to the counter spell feats and mechanics already in place.

Aye so it seems.

8th level Divinations Premonition, Battle Precognition, 9th level Abjurations Archevult's Absolute Immunity & Hilater's Greater Misdirection provide ample defense from physical attack, as Spell Mantles do of magical attack. Memorise and click the button, it's not that hard really...

if you play archmage you get a feat with Premonition and i belive the Spell Mantles to
