Haunting Reminder Death would be a mercy at this point
Cloaked, wraith-like beings emerge from the necklace. Voices of the innocents that you've harmed echo from around you: "Traitor! Murderer! Deceiver!" They're translucent and wouldn't inhibit vision. When attacked, the wraiths let out a bloodcurdling wail and lunge for the attacker before bursting into ethereal flames.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action or Reaction. Roll Intellect + Alertness at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next (Outcome +4) Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
- Effects which circumvent Armor completely also circumvent your barrier.
