New Dark Spell: Shield Wall
This dark spell acts like a shield, it protects units from damage and absorbs a set amount of damage from either defenses or attacking troops outside the shield. Defensive units and heroes may still walk into the bubble of protection, along with any buildings inside the bubble. This bubble will protect units within the bubble buying them time to destroy buildings within it, and if tbe unit is ranged it can attack from inside the bubble to the outside.

Attack Uses...
This spell can be used to support a lot of lower level hitpoint units from inside the bubble by being a meatshield in some way. Great practical use for wizards or protecting units from the deadly core of the base where everything it firing on the units within for a few seconds.
Defensive Strategy...
The best way to defend yourself from these spells is by spreading out defenses so that any unit within the protective shield has to walk out of the shield to destroy that target.

I am open to criticism but please don't hate on the idea, it is just an idea after all.
The spell either absorbs all the damage it can take or it has time expire on it if the shield doesn't get destroyed by defenses by that time limit.
Animation Ideas...
The bubble for when resource storages deflect spell damage pops out with this spell. And simply ends when it gets destroyed or has time tuns out
A silver colored bubble that degrades into a blue sparkling shield represents how much HP the shield has left before it breaks, disapears into a mist
