A spell which wreathes the caster in ethereal fire that protects him from harm by cold magic of the same or lower level. With CS, the caster is totally immune to damage from cold magic of equal or lower level than Flaming Shield. With MS, the caster is immune from magic of lower level, and magic of the same level causes half damage (after armour subtraction, if any). Magic that is not a spell should be assigned an equivalent level at GM discretion (e.g., Dhivu's Rod would be level 3).
Flaming Shield will not protect an Odivshe sorcerer.
ML61+: The spell will work against semi-magical cold (The breath of a dhiverin is semi-magical cold of level 4), with other similar effects is at GM discretion. It is very hard to imagine what a natural cold attack would be like; most cold attacks will be at least semi-magical.
