"White Magick that conjures up invisible, mystical veil to protect the body from magick."

—Description, Final Fantasy Tactics.

Shellga (シェルガ, Sheruga^?), also known as Shell2 or Shellja is a form of White Magic. It is a recurring spell throughout the series. It provides protection versus magical attacks, generally, but not always, halving magical damage. It is similar to Shell but it grants the effect to all party members, or in games where spacing is important, all party members within range of the spell caster.
