Upon blocking an attack (with War Snapper): Your opponent impales himself on the razor-sharp spikes that erupt from your shell, suffering Y damage. The War Snapper is pleased. With a Blessing of She-Who-Was: You hunker down, slipping partway out of the world and into the embrace of She-Who-Was.

There is a whiff of ozone and a clap of thunder as it is knocked to the ground and bound by chains of arcing lightning.

Notes

• This skill blocks an attack in the current combat round, if the attack would have hit you. However, if the opponent misses, this skill does nothing and does not trigger its additional function.
  • Monsters will never fumble on the round after you cast Shell Up. (source)
• The block is notable for working against enemies that are usually immune to staggers.
  • The stun added by the Blessings of the Storm Tortoise is not enhanced this way, however, the initial block will still succeed as with other blessings.
• With a wicker slicker, can be cast multiple times per combat.
• Blocking triggers an additional function based on your current blessing.
