That actually is also a thing. The original Runic's ability I mean. Not only does Runic allow the user (i.e. Celes) to absorb the enemy's Magical Attack, it also absorbs the magical attacks or healing spells of the allies. The only way to bypass that was not to have Celes cast Runic.

@DerVVwulfman
Thank YOU so much for your time and effort. Still have to give it a test to see if it works which won't be anytime soon until October 5th.

The point would be if it is fine to let it absorb healing spells or you would prefer to get a mechanism to avoid their absorbtion...

Technically, I COULD make it only perform the absorb feature as long as attacker and defender are on opposite sides. Of course, this could go both ways with a group of ghosts performing runic spells once and a while on its BOSS Spectre. So the attacker might be a hero vs an enemy too.

You may notice that I used a 'runic_animation' value in the script. Heheh.... I kinda thought "why not use the battle animation from the runic spell" as a barrier animation, and this could change from Spell to spell. You may have one runic spell that affects one ally, his animation being a barrier effect (animation 16), while another runic spell might be an all-allies spell with another animation effect. ;)

Updated. I took the TURNS value out of the configuration section. Now the duration that a Runic spell is set per spell. Just use the skilll's variance setting to change how long the runic barrier lasts.

Meanwhile, a new array sets whether a runic barrier can let friendly spells work and pass through... as kyo suggested.

Now you have even more flexibility.... a Runic spell could be singie-target/multiple-target, have various durations, various animations, and may permit/deny friendly effects.

Wow, I honestly did not expect that. Well, I'm still going to thank you anyway so thank YOU again for your time and effort.

Edit: My phone's Emojis ended up as "????". Oh well.

Laughing No prob. But I can't just leave well enough alone.

THIS one.... now enables the barrier effect animation to play when the attacker attacks, as if the runic barrier KNOWS it is gonna be used. I had to put in an extra value to handle a stored animation ID as the skill attack wipes out the initial barrier before the attack animations. The animation for the target raising the barrier had to be played when the attacker preps his attack. Unfortunately, it appears a battler cannot have two battle animations playing simultaneously. So I had to make it 'raise' the barrier before being hit. It woulda been cool otherwise.

AND... Man, do I stock things up? While this does not create an actual barrier 'state', I added a feature so a Runic state may appear in the Battlestatus window or Help window for both actors and enemies.

ALSO... I added 'cleanup' features to erase any runic values both before the battle begins and after it ends. You do NOT want to have a hero exit battle and still have the Runic flags in effect, or have a player enter battle with the runic system still applied.

Wowzers. Three times the charm in effect here. I like it.
Will be able to test the final one (assuming that it is) soon.

I HOPE so. Laughing I got a few other things to work on myself, and then there's ReGaL. But that's another topic (no hijacking here).

Still, it was a fun exercise after working on that music system for so long.

Enjoy.

Welp, looks like my first error of the Runic test which happened the moment I hit the "Play Test".
May I know what I should adjust and what I should leave alone?

Edit: Basically, it said "Script 'Runic' line 236: Syntax Error occurred."

Trying it in a fresh project I've encountered no problems.
