This spell wards the subject and creates a mystic connection
between you and the subject so that some of its wounds are
transferred to you. The subject gains a +1 deflection bonus to
AC and a +1 resistance bonus on saves. Additionally, the subject
takes only half damage from all wounds and attacks (including
those dealt by special abilities) that deal hit point damage. The
amount of damage not taken by the warded creature is taken
by you. Forms of harm that do not involve hit points, such as
charm effects, temporary ability damage, level draining, and
death effects, are not affected. If the subject suffers a reduction
of hit points from a lowered Constitution score, the reduction is
not split with you because it is not hit point damage. When the
spell ends, subsequent damage is no longer divided between the
subject and you, but damage already split is not reassigned to
the subject.
If you and the subject of the spell move out of range of each
other, the spell ends.
