As you might imagine, the shield provides you with a scant
few seconds of defense against foes. It also knocks back any
foe caught in its initial radius, but you likely won’t be using
this much because it simply gives your foes more time to
surround you, making things even hairier than they were
previously. However, if you fi nd yourself surrounded and
there are a lot of ledges about, try this to send enemies
fl ying—hopefully over an edge.

Minimum Recast Time: 3.6 seconds (Urgal Encampment)
This is the single best form of magic you have. It recharges
fairly quickly, does substantial damage, and takes a foe out
of a fi ght for fi ve full seconds regardless of armor status. It
also sends foes careening over ledges as easily as push and
pull magic does, making it a triple threat. Once you earn this
ability at Durza’s Fortress you’ll fi nd that it renders those
other forms of magic obsolete.

Block Strength: Medium
Evade Chance: None
Enemy Specialties: Heavy blocking and heavy armor make
this a tough opponent to beat.

against the Commander. Do not use Headshot Arrow

covered by a too small breastplate. An

n Urgal stood over him,
face set in a gross leer. The
monster was tall, thick, and
broader than a doorway, with gray
skin and yellow piggish eyes. Muscles
bulged on his arms and chest, which was
iron cap rested over the pair of ram’s
horns curling from his temples, and
a roundshield was bound to one
arm. His powerful hand held a
short, wicked sword.
