How do I make a permenant Mana shield?

[Ossada]

How would I make the hero ability mana shield permenant? As in, when learned it stays on and cannot be turned off?

you could add a special effect, or use some kind of armor increasing aura that caan only target self
Otherwse you could set the mana drained per hit to 0 and allow the user to activate and deactivate it

Or, you set the duration to max

Or you base it on the Item - Defend skill that does the same and is permanent. You'll have to use a sphere for the effect though.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

that's not really draining mana though. I guess devotion aura wouldn't work either.
I guess you could always use a trigger.

Mh i never did that but what about an invisible spellbook?
Would that work?

And what would happen if you add the ability -> enable the shield and use a trigger to remove the ability from the unit?

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

it woud remove the ability and all the buffs, making it as if the unit never had the ability in the first place. I'm not really all that experienced with spellbook either. My idea would be to add the special effect, then make a trigger.

Unit is attacked

attacked unit is equal to unit with buff

multiply damage taken by .15 (if the mana shield resists 15 percent) and minus it from mana.

You could perfect that formula to your liking.
