Description
Blink Shield establishes a protective area around the recipient that transports any incoming material objects to the opposite side of the area, without touching the recipient.  Arrows, for example, "disappear" at the edge of the shield and "reappear" on the opposite side, where they continue on their previous trajectory.
Effects
The effect functions automatically unless consciously overridden by the casting adept.  Only incoming objects are typically affected - i.e. if the recipient throws a rock, it doesn't hit him in the back of the head.  Also, only missiles are typically affected - hand to hand attacks aren't within the capacity of this paradigm to affect (such an effect would have to be more potent to overcome the resistance of the wielder).
The difficulty of the effect is based on the affinity of the object (7 in the case of steel).  Objects do not generally receive Passive Resistance Trials, but may in special circumstances.
