defend - toggles on/off 'defensive fighting'
The 'defensive fighting' skill is a mid level warrior skill that allows you to sacrifice offense for defense. You will spend more time concentrating on avoiding getting hit and blocking or parrying blows. The drawbacks are that you can't get in attacks nearly as often, and you must often wait for an appropriate opportunity to present itself to cast spells.
This skill is primarily used in groups, when the fighters try to keep from getting killed while spell casters work their arts.
Note that you can use 'shadow decoy' while defending, but that there is an increased chance of failure when summoning the decoys.
You can improve your ability to spellcast by wearing castability equipment.
