Break the Siege! [Dmitry, Seikatsu]

Name: Spirit Barrier
Rank: D
Type: Soul
Duration: 4 posts
Cooldown: 5 posts

Description:
A bubble composed of souls stored in the scabbard on Seikatsu's waist, he can block almost any attack with it. The bubble is mostly light blue (allowing the caster to regain his/her bearings), with dark blue blotches moving through out it. Upon being destroyed, the barrier releases a huge cloud that impairs the sight of all inside it. The barrier has a radius of 9 feet from the very center.
The Spirit Bubble will stop a definite amount of attacks, based on the following rank scale:
D - 2 attacks - All inside takes 5% damage from the attack that breaks it
C - 1 attacks - All inside takes 9% damage from the attack that breaks it
Note: 2 D Rank spells = 1 C Rank spell. The bubble will take either 2 D, or 1 C



Casting:
The wizard forms both hands to resemble small cups, and places them together horizontally with fingers facing opposite directions. A small Light Blue + Dark Blue sphere forms in the middle of the hands, and enlarges as the wizard parts his/her hands. The sphere will fully expend once the wizard has parted his/her hands entirely forming a large Light Blue sphere, with Dark Blue highlights.
This barrier is exactly like a soap bubble. It will allow those composed of the same material (spirits) in and out of it, and rejects anything else.

Strengths:
1 Provides a valuable defense, even if it's just for a moment
2 Can be used to protect a team for a brief period
3 A more offensive spell can be prepared from inside the bubble (it cannot be fired/cast from inside the bubble)

Weaknesses:
1 If surrounded may be just as much a liability as an asset
2 Mages above C rank just pop right through.
3 When destroyed, everyone enclosed in the bubble take damage instead of just one person
4 Attacks can't leave the bubble
5 Can be destroyed rather easily

Name: Soul Sword
Rank: D
Type: Soul
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 1 post

Description:
Use as a finishing move, or a very fast block, this spell appears as a Dark Blue double-edged straight sword with light blue patches weaving about the inside. During the execution of the spell, a Grey and white resonance is created as the spell disperses. In higher ranking wizards, can be reinforced.

Casting:
The wizard places his/her hand at the top of a sword's scabbard as though he/she was holding the grip of a sword. Soul Energy is channeled through a small (5mm) hole at the base of the scabbard, and the soul energy takes the shape of the blade that matches the sword. The guard of the sword appears and encases the caster's hand, creating an orb around his/her hand (result from having no definite shape). As the attack, or block is being performed and dark blue aura is quickly flashed around the caster(no bonus, just for looks). The sword begins to disperse until it becomes nothing but a linear cloud or spirit energy (this is because the weapon was taken out of its mold before it could be permanently shaped).

Strengths:
1 Can be dual wielded
2 Provides a great alternative as a defence against a single attack
3 Provides a good stall if Seikatsu's normal weapon is knocked out of his hand, broken, incinerated, etc...

Weaknesses:
1 Dual Wielding extends the cooldown of this spell by 1 additional post.(Dual Wielded is still instant, cooldown becomes 2 posts)
2 Does not remain due to being forged with minimal concentration
3 Can be dodged
4 Can be blocked by a D-rank or higher spell
