Force Shell

is a Tier 2 Force Path Spell.

The caster conjures a translucent white spherical shield of hardened force that surrounds and is centered on the caster, with a radius of slightly over 1 meter (thus fully enveloping a human-sized caster). The shield physically obstructs (i.e. blocks/deflects melee attacks and projectiles). The shield can be temporarily broken by heavy blows and spells of higher Tier. The spell has a minor mana cost while maintained and drains significantly more mana when actively obstructing.
