Wind Wake

Cast Action	Standard

Effect	Caster draws air around the target allowing them to create a wake of swirling wind behind them as they move that provides Light Cover (-2 to Ranged Physical and Magical Defense attacks) to attacks that would traverse those squares. The target must move half of their base speed before the wake forms, then all subsequent squares generate Light Cover for 1 round before dissipating. The penalties for cover apply to friendly targets including the caster, so careful planning is important. While the duration is active the caster can suppress the effect at will.
