EXTRA BONUS SPELL!
A Weak Defense (Muto Animal 5)
R: Voice, D: Mom, T: Ind<
Josephine used spells similar to this one spontaneously quite frequently when her grogs and allies found themselves in combat, and when she had a bit of extra time one season, she took the time to design this as a formulaic spell. With an arcane utterance and a complex gesture, this spell transforms a suit of leather or hide armor into a loose, comfortable woolen bathrobe. The transformation only lasts for a few breaths, but it's enough to cause panic and possible death. It has the bonus of embaressing most highwaymen, in addition to turning the armor's protection to nothing for a round - and in most combat situations, the comfortable robe will become quite disarrayed, which when the spell wears off a round later, gives the bearer a -2 penalty to his combat totals until the appropriate straps and buckles are fixed.

Design Notes
This is in honor of my saga-mate's 'Mass Leather to Lard' spell, which he cast on invading pirates to trip up their assault, and completely disassemble their armor in an embarrassing fashion.
