Barrier

The Horizontal, Vertical and Square Barrier spells create stationary walls of glittering particles in three different shapes. These particles persist for several seconds, or until an entity comes in contact with them, at which point the particle is consumed and deals heavy damage. Barrier particles are not affected by modifier spells, and are not blocked by shields. Because the Barriers are created at the point of casting and can damage the caster, care has to be taken when using these spells.

The individual green points that make up each barrier are a cosmetic effect; there are only 19 evenly-spaced projectiles in a Horizontal or Vertical Barrier, and 76 in a Square Barrier, each dealing 32.25 damage.

Tips

• For safe offensive use, put the Barrier spell inside a trigger, such as Spark Bolt, to cast it far from the player.
  • Square Barrier can be safely used without a trigger, though it will briefly trap the player in a small area, making it difficult to dodge enemy projectiles.
  • Adding a Personal Gravity Field to the trigger spell will cause enemies hit to attract the barrier particles and take substantial damage.
• Barrier spells have good synergy with Spells To Power, which absorbs the high total damage of the barrier into a single projectile spell.
• Barrier particles are not effected by homing modifier spells, but can be pushed by other effects, such as the Homing Shots and Projectile Repulsion Field perks and the Black Hole spell.
  • Effects that push the particles away from the player or towards enemies can be useful, but effects like Black Hole can pull them towards the player, which is hazardous.
