When this talent is used, a faintly shimmering aura surrounds the recipient. The aura insulates the recipient from the effects of non-magical heat and cold in a range of -20 F to 140 F. Any time a traveler encounters temperatures in this range, he maintains a comfortable temperature of 70 F, regardless of prevailing weather temperatures. Additionally, the spell acts as a shield against rain, snow, and hail, which are blocked by the aura. If a recipient encounters a temperature above or below the stated range, the temperature within the aura is altered by an equal number of degrees. For example, a recipient who encounters a temperature of 150 F will actually experience a temperature of 80°F.
All physical objects other than rain, snow, and hail can pass through the aura. The recipient can cast spells normally while the aura of comfort is in effect. This talent offers no protection against magically generated weather, such as that caused by weather summoning and ice storm. It does not protect against fire, nor does it shield against fire or cold-based attacks. |
