With this Incantation, the Swordmage makes a single melee attack with a canted ''Masterwork Greataxe'', and all enemies within 5 ft./level of either the target or the Swordmage must make a Will save or become ''shaken'' for 1 round. For that attack, the Swordmage is treated as having the Power Attack feat, and the Save DC for the Incantation increases by +1 for every 3 attack bonus sacrificed for the feat.

''The swordmage cloaks himself in a mantle of energy that reacts to enemy attacks, transforming the targeted area into a plate of metal.''

Every time the Swordmage is attacked whilst under the protection of this spell, he may choose to 'solidify' the Blinkplate to protect him from the strike. This choice must be made before the attack roll. If he chooses to solidify the plate around him, his armor bonus increases to 8 (as if he was wearing full plate). As the plate only solidifies in front of the attacking blow, the swordmage's Dexterity bonus to AC is unaffected. The Blinkplate can only be solidified 3 times for every two caster levels of the Swordmage before it is discharged.
