[Nanoha Takamachi]

Wide Area Protection: (300 OM)

Functionally identical to Protection, this version of the spell is intended for group shielding or barrage defence. It has the same defensive strength, cast time and increased effectiveness against projectile-type attacks as Protection, but covers an area roughly 6 meters across- enough to envelop 5 closely clustered people. The spell uses a sudden influx of mana to manifest, but Nanoha is able to channel more mana into the spell to allow it to persist. This can be very draining, and the drain increases exponentially over time. While channelling, Nanoha must focus and is unable to cast other spells or move.
