Mana Pane
For the journeyman mage, mana pane provides the opportunity to experiment with the use of mana as a defensive material. The spell allows a mage to turn their ethereal energies into a physical object via swirling the mana they are weaving in a vortex style motion with much haste and violence. With practice, this motion will allow the mana itself to harden, creating a thin pane of energy that can be manipulated by the caster. It can be used defensively, a barrier equivalent to irons toughness. It can be held in one hand and moved around to some extent.
This spell was created and taught to the students of Ulreich by Prophet Ambrose [Primum] and is for mages of Mage ranking or above. Upon reaching the rank of High Mage, one may control two of these Panes at once, one for each hand.
Many fellow mages would agree that although all spells found in this tome are useful, Summon Medium is perhaps one of the most useful spells for any mage, regardless of tree or style.

After successfully “marketing” your medium with your magic, one may use this resonance as a mental anchor, and concentrate to transport the intended medium to your location. Mediums are a valuable tool for all mages, and this spell allows you to prepare it at any given moment.
This is a general spell, known throughout the plains by many mages, however it was taught to the students of Ulreich by Apollo O'Connor [Groove] and is for mages of Paige ranking or above.
