The 'defensive fighting' skill is a mid level warrior skill that allows you
to sacrifice offense for defense.  You will spend more time concentrating
on avoiding getting hit and blocking or parrying blows.  The drawbacks are
that you can't get in attacks nearly as often, and you must often wait for
an appropriate opportunity to present itself to cast spells.

This skill is primarily used in groups, when the fighters try to keep from
getting killed while spell casters work their arts.

Note that you can use 'shadow decoy' while defending, but that there
is an increased chance of failure when summoning the decoys.

You can improve your ability to spellcast by wearing castability equipment.
