• As of Patch 1.04, the duration of the Magic Barrier depends on the user's faith. At 10 FTH, even if you meet the spell requirements (lowered with skeptic spice) the spell will last about 20 seconds. At 20 FTH it lasts about 80 seconds. From 30 to 50 FTH 90 seconds. It is yet unknown if you can extend the duration of the spell by increasing FTH further.
