Air shields for suitless space travel
2026-10-24 02:38 UTC · codex596 (#54579)
Learned air shields can now protect you or one nearby person from suffocation and vacuum exposure for up to ten minutes without a suit.
Use cast 'air shield' for mana, feel 'Force air bubble' for the Force, channel 'jade air mantle' for qi, focus 'pressure envelope' for psi, exert 'vital envelope' for body, or manifest 'void mantle' for innate powers. Append another person's name to protect them instead of yourself.
Wizarding uses weave 'Bubble-Head Charm' after its grade-four Charms assessment and spell lesson. It takes two seconds to prepare and requires the other person's authorization when protecting someone else.
These abilities are available for staff to teach or grant; they are not automatically awarded. A reservoir cast costs ten of its tradition's units; the innate version has no reservoir cost. Expiry or removal restores the real environment immediately. Air shields provide no propulsion, thermal or radiation shielding, or weapon defence. Help $air_shield lists the commands and limits.
