Force Wall creates a reactive, one-sided kinetic barrier that attempts to repulse any object that strikes its 'outward' face (with the wall's orientation decided by its caster when it is first created). In effect this provides bonus armour to anyone sheltering on the other side of the wall, and makes it very difficult for anyone coming from the 'outside' to pass through – requiring that they make a Strength check exceeding the spell's Barrier Strength in order to breach it, taking their entire turn to do so.

The barrier created by Force Wall is almost invisible, appearing as little more than a faint shimmer in the air. Force Walls are normally square or rectangular, but can be of any simple shape their caster wishes – so long as they remain completely flat and are within the dimensions described.
