Shielding Spells (also known as Shield Spells, or Shields) are a type of Spell in Elemental Battlegrounds.
These Spells create a barrier around the user, some of which can reduce damage taken from enemy Spells. Shielding spells also have some offensive capability.
Shielding Spells are the only kind of Spell found in every slot (including Sans), but are located in the first to fourth slots for normal Elements.
Elements with Shielding Spells
There are only 7 Elements (8 including Sans) with Shielding Spells so far.
User creates a large semi-sphere that reflects incoming enemy projectiles for 10 seconds
Enemies that come in contact with the semi-sphere will be tripped, slightly knocked back, and take medium damage (note that party members cannot enter the dome while it is active)
User encases themselves in a large black crystal, reducing damage taken by 80%
After a short period, the crystal breaks, the user is then freed, gains an insane temporary speed boost, and creates several explosions that do low damage each
User encases themselves in a small green orb that can absorb enemy projectiles and reduce damage taken by 80%
When the orb absorbs an enemy projectile, it will shoot a slimy projectile at the enemy's location that does low damage and creates a sticky puddle upon impact, the orb will also create a living slime that will follow the enemy and do low damage
Enemies that come in contact with the orb will be stuck to the orb and take low damage before getting tossed away and receive a short stun
User releases a quick spherical burst of energy that surrounds them, blocking enemy projectiles, as well as knocking away nearby enemies and doing medium damage to them
