Spell Idea: Summon Iron Guardian
Spell idea. A level 6 or 7 Earth/Summoning spell that produces a stationary statue with several unique properties, that give the spell utility to various kinds of characters.
An iron guardian is "A roughly hewn iron statue of an ogre-sized humanoid, wielding a cudgel and large shield".
It's primary purpose is to block a hallway for escape (similar to locking a door behind you); but it can also be used to place clouds over or as a single lone LRD target in an area where LRD wouldn't otherwise be usable. Defensive summoning spell.
Minimum Spellpower stats:

An iron guardian is "A roughly hewn iron statue of an ogre-sized humanoid, wielding a cudgel and large shield".
- It's placed at a melee range location on cast (exact targeting).
- It has virtually no EV; but decent AC.
- It's HD, HP and (monster) SH scale with spellpower.
- It doesn't mind being targeted by LRD (doesn't turn hostile). And deals the same damage and radius as a Iron Statue when doing so.
- It can no longer attack, but remains in place for several turns after breaking LoS (abjuration timer is NOT quickened).
- It deflects bolts (if a bolt (of lightning, etc.)) hits it's shield (monster SH role) it will be deflected back at the caster. (If it hits it normally the bolt pierces normally).
