EM shield [Minor] by Iczer

'Everyone, get behind me'

The character can generate a dome like structure composed of invisible electromagnetic energy, that absorbs and repels energy attacks as well as some psychic phenomenon.
The shield can take the form of a wall, 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall (+2 feet per level) or a dome some 10 feet wide (+2 feet per level).
In any case the dome absorbs and redirects energy attacks at it. Radiation, laser, electricity and ion blasts are reduced by half effect, and refraction reduces the ability to hit anyone through the shield, reducing the chance to strike by 4.
Those completely protected by the dome effect (not the wall version) are resistant to psionics and mind control while inside, enjoying a +3 to saving throws.
The shield is invisible by nature, until it interacts with an energy source, in which case it flares briefly. Sonar and motion detection do not see the shield, but radar see's the wall and the dome as inpenetrable objects, and characters with radar who are inside the dome find their radar to be jammed.
It takes one action to erect the wall or dome, and one action per round to maintain it. It follows the creator, and in the case of the wall, swivels as he directs it.
