Object impact. When you would take bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage from an object, after damage is rolled but before applying it, use your ordinary reaction and 1 Charge to reduce it by 1d4+3, minimum 1, never below 0. Apply before resistance/vulnerability; only one Aspect reduction per event.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.

On ending, place the load on the nearest supporting surface directly beneath it; it cannot fall onto or trap creatures. If that would occur, it settles in the nearest empty supported space.
Ends: Concentration loss; duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
