A protection patch note.

I have kind of a small thing here from the patch for UOR
The protection spell will reduce the chance that a caster is interrupted by an attack for a limited time. The duration of the spell will be affected by the caster’s skill in magery (up to a little over three minutes) . The effectiveness of the spell will be determined by the caster’s Evaluate Intelligence, Meditation, and Inscription skills.

The protection spell will no longer be a targetable spell. Just like magic reflection, the spell will automatically target the caster. Once the spell is exhausted, the caster cannot cast the spell again for a time period equal to half the length of time that it was active (i.e.: if it was active for 3 minutes, then the caster cannot cast it again for 1 minute and 30 seconds).

Well the difference is that it should be targetable and it you should be able to cast it on yourself repeatedly, because this patch for UO R made it not targetable, and did not allow you to cast it on yourself over and over.

EDIT: I accidentally wrote that this was not a UOR patch, it is.

That was very close to UOR.

Oops I'm sorry I put that its NOT for UO R I meant to put that it was for UO R.

What I'm trying to say is that before this patch things were NOT this way.

I'm deeply sorry about any confusion.

I seem to remember a delay wish Magic Reflection, and also not being able to use Reactive Armor and Reflection together, but I'm not sure around what time that was. I forgot all about the protection spell, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

UO:R added inscription bonuses but limited these spells (so you could only have 1 up at a time)

I do remember (and I'm pretty sure I mentioned it back in the spring last year, but there was better things to fix at the time), that the protection spell should be targetable. I remember casting it along with Arch Protection to buff everyone +20AR each before some fights
