====Bane====
**Times Ever**

Each time this [[Smart]] [[Return]] type defense is selected it provides protection against a single attack from a specifically chosen [[Effect Group]] chosen by the caster; any Effect Group other than “Coating” or “Other” may be chosen. The [[Bane]] will [[Return]] the specific effect from among those in its Effect Group back upon the attacker as if it were an effect encountering a [[Reflect Spell]]. When used, the character must call “Bane.”

[[Bane]] does not alter the delivery type of the effect. An [[Enfeeble]] Poison that has been Baned is still considered a [[poison qualifier|Poison]] for the purposes of delivery-based defenses such as [[Poison Shield]] or [[Resist Poison]].

[[Bane]] will act as a [[Cloak]] when used against [[Ingested delivery]], a [[trap]], or a [[Killing Blow]].
