Castle Paradox

Hi again and hope everyone is well.
My game is going well but I have another question I need answered.
I am doing a defensive type character class that is supposed to be more defensive and I needed some kind of spell that enhances is defense for say 10 seconds or 3 turns. Is it possible to do this kind of stuff? If not is there a way that I can limit the usage of said spell for 1 use per battle? Also is there a way for me to make the spell make enemies focus on my character for that duration without battlescripting (which is not implemented yet I think)?
Thank you for your support and it is much appreciated. Have a good wekend all!

Yes, you can do this with a non-blocking attack chain.

The first attack boosts the target's defence. It chains to the second attack using a "Regular" chain with the "Delay doesn't block further actions" bitset turned on.

The second attack removes the defence bonus. It has a long delay. If you want 10 seconds, you should make a delay of about 182 ticks. You can also have a turn-based delay that will be based on how fast the hero takes turns, rather than seconds.

Note that if you set a delay in ticks then in real time it will actually probably be longer than that, because while other attacks are animating, or pausing menus are active, the delay counter is paused.

Does an active chain prevent from using the skill again?
