Description and lore

Bastion

A company's separate silhouettes carry the same protective shimmer.

Lore and observations

Bastion suits the instant when scattered companions choose to stand together beneath pressure.

The spell can look disciplined rather than ornate, each protected person bearing a clear echo of the caster's gesture.
