Owner

Slice 2b, part 2 — the shield form.

Shield (GHY KOR)

Water-only self ward: reduces incoming damage by ShieldReductionPercent (50%) for ShieldDurationTicks (~10s), refreshed on recast, dropped on relog (transient). Water is the defensive element, so fire + shield is invalid (reuses the InvalidCombination cue).

ShieldSpell + catalog entry; the ward is transient state on Mobile (ShieldUntilTick), read by CombatSystem.ApplyDamage.
ApplyDamage now returns the actual damage dealt so the floating number reflects the mitigation — melee (AttackOutcome) and the bolt both show the reduced value. DamageResult.Dealt added; the invulnerable dummy still reports the full attempted number.
SpellCastResult.Shielded carries the duration; WorldTick broadcasts Shielded (seconds) within AoI.
Client: key 4 = KOR, a cyan ward ring on the caster for the duration.
SpellOptions/GameOptions tuning; docs/spells.md updated.
Real UO shield shimmer art is a follow-up (#84).

Element identity

Water = support (bolt + heal + shield), fire = offense (bolt only). Fire+heal and fire+shield both fizzle as invalid combinations.

Definition of Done

With a shield up, an incoming bolt/melee deals ~half damage, and the floating number shows the reduced value.
The ward lapses after its duration (full damage again) and resets on relog/death.
2 → 4 (GHY KOR) raises the ward (cyan ring); 1 → 4 (fire+shield) fizzles with "Those words don't combine."
Suite green, whole solution builds, zero warnings.

Water-only self shield: a transient ward on the caster reduces incoming damage
by ShieldReductionPercent for ShieldDurationTicks (~10s), refreshed on recast,
dropped on relog. Fire + shield is an invalid combination (water is the
defensive element).

- ShieldSpell + catalog entry; the ward is state on Mobile, read by
  CombatSystem.ApplyDamage which now returns the actual damage dealt so the
  floating number reflects the mitigation (melee and bolt both use it)
- SpellCastResult.Shielded carries the duration; WorldTick broadcasts Shielded
  (in seconds) within AoI
- Client: key 4 = KOR, a cyan ward ring on the caster for the duration
- SpellOptions/GameOptions tuning; docs/spells.md updated

Real UO shield shimmer art is a follow-up (#84).
