Mass Trance State
Spell, Low Magic, level 7
A group version of Trance State: after a ten-minute ritual the caster and several companions nearby enter the damage-halving trance.
From the book
A group version of Trance State. The caster and one more individual or creature per level of ability enter a deep trance together. First comes a 10 minute ritual, during which everyone to be affected has to remain within 20 ft. of him and do nothing else. From then on the trance behaves just like Trance State in both effect and duration: physical attacks, magical weapons included, do half damage, for 1 minute per level of ability.

A scene
The Kawanna warriors gather close around their shaman on the morning of the battle, fourteen of them sitting shoulder to shoulder within a few paces of her fire. For the space of a long breath held and released a hundred times, no one moves or speaks. Then they rise together, eyes glazed and faces calm, and walk down to the Awa River to meet the raiders. The enemy blades strike and strike again, and to their horror the Zephyr keep coming, bleeding far less than they should.
