Pyronmancers also have excellent defensive spells. Below is a list of spells and the level of magic.spells.defensive at which you can learn these spells from Arcadion (NPC teacher of the Pyromancer guild). Due to the way that I have suggested advancing, you will not have any decent defensive spells until you start advancing magic.spells . . . But that is OK. Just be patient and bum a SoF or Holy Armour from a nice Paladin. Below I have also included lengthy descriptions of each defensive spell! :-)
