Notes

Fire Ward absorbed an additional 10% of the caster's bonus Spell Damage.

Fire Ward could have been dispelled as a magic debuff.

Damage reduction due to spell resistances or [Dampen Magic]-like effects was calculated before damage would be absorbed.

Fire Ward shared the same cooldown timer as [Frost Ward]. Using one ward would have triggered the cooldown of the other, meaning only one of the two wards could have been active at the same time.
