Repel

Template:Ability

"Invoking this spell cloaks me under a protective aegis. Whatever spell is cast at me will be reflected back at the caster, leaving me unharmed. It will only last for a short time, however, before leaving me vulnerable once more."

―Kain

Repel was a spell acquired and used by Kain during the events of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. Kain found this spell in an underground passage of one of Coorhagen's houses. When used, this spell created a magical shell around Kain, protecting him from all of the attacks of his enemies (excepting floor spikes) and reflecting back any proyectile until the barrier wore off.

Notes

• In the early concepts of Soul Reaver Raziel was originally supposed to gain a similar ability used in conjunction with the ability of Possession that he would gain from The High Priestess of the Vampire worshippers.

• This ability may be related to the similar 'barriers' used in later games; such as the repulsive blast used by Kain in the opening video of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 against Raziel; or in Defiance as a regular combat ability of Kain used to bring close and repel enemies with his Telekinesis, and later by Raziel when he acquires Enhanced TK after devouring the soul of his brother Turel. These barrier could may be of telekinetic or magical nature and they appear to be much shorter lived than repel.
