As a Paladin, Coatleque practices her barriers along with her sword skills. No, it won't stop a targeted onslaught, but I figure the common "protect" spell is enough to stop one or two before it collapses. I think of it like a 'mass effect' field (if you've played that game), only it can be recast at will so long as the caster can keep focus and has enough aether.
