Spell Effects	This spell coats its benefactor with a protective barrier of thorns. You cannot harm yourself with these thorns, however, anyone who melee attacks you will receive 4 x the caster's Arcana as damage. This coat of thorns, while it acts as an armor or protective spell, also counts as a weapon. This means you can apply spell effects such as Deadly Sap or Pyro Enchantment to it for greater effect.
