The caster invokes a brilliant armor forged from the light of the Aether to turn back the blows of his most ardent enemies.
Mechanics: The caster gains 2 points of Armor for the duration of the spell. Additionally, the caster, illuminated by the light of the Supernal Aether, can withstand even the most heinous perils that his foes would inflict on him: While under the aegis of this spell, the caster downgrades any Aggravated damage he suffers to Lethal damage. (This does not affect the upgrade of Lethal damage to Aggravated if the caster has already suffered his full Health points in lethal damage, however).
While it works fine as a standard armor spell, most mages would likely eschew it as such, since it’s not as effective as the armor rotes of many other Arcana (offering less in the way of protection for skilled mages of those Arcana) and it’s plainly vulgar. On the other hand, the protection it offers from aggravated supernatural damage is certainly a boon.
