What it does

Sets a turning ring of runes for 20 s round you, or round the friend nearest the cursor within 8 tiles: a co-op hero, a companion or a follower. While it turns, the warded take +20% to all resistances (a ward with no element; caps hold) and 25% less damage from projectiles. One Runic Ward per target; casting again refreshes it. On creatures and followers the bonus adds to their own resistances. It stacks with elemental ward potions.
