Official Move Approval III

[Proto Man]

Dark Ward – 300 OM
Jaixe crosses one or both of his arms in front of himself and rapidly channels black-purple energy in the form of flames through it. With that energy, he projects a series of dark violet hexagons in a closely-fit pattern, attempting to block whatever attack may be inbound.

Dark Ward requires only a second to charge, allowing it to be used rapidly. It has a mild energy cost, and lasts for only two seconds. It is fragile, capable of taking a single average strike, or a couple weak ones, before shattering. Stronger attacks would shatter the barrier without much damage being mitigated. The barrier is conjured one foot in front of him, and has a width and a height of three feet each, covering a similar area as a circular shield would accomplish.

Just as a heads up, this would be the utmost limit for having a shield without area shield (which is roughly 7 square feet, if you want to split hairs). Regardless, this is approved.
