Notes

• Self-target only, with AoE effect centered around caster.
• The formula to calculate the damage reduced seems to be: 2/3 * Blue Magic Skill.
• Stoneskin and Rampart overwrite Diamondhide.
• Diamondhide does not overwrite Stoneskin or the Magic Shield effect from Rampart and gives a "has no effect" error.
• This spell can only be learned from Hoplite-type (armored) trolls. These trolls are always Dark Knight, Paladin, or Warrior.
