Description: Ward a creature by giving phantom (temporary ep or fp).
As a main-act, you can spend 1fp to ward a creature from attacks that drain their energy points or focus points. This is done by providing the warded creature fp•d6+M(ep|fp,temp), which last for 8 hours.
The warded creature cannot use these ep or fp for their own purposes, but they are a magnet for any psionic creature attempting energy or focus attacks. Attackers must spend their own focus wearing down these temporary ep or fp, and these temporary ep or fp are ineffectual for the purposes of energy point transferral to a successful attacker (such as in the Enervation technique): they will simply evaporate.
