The Icon of the Defender is an artifact from Hexen. It has the shape of a miniature gray castle tower. It grants total invulnerability to all classes; however, the precise effect differs for each character:

• The Fighter is rendered completely invulnerable, an effect similar to Doom's Invulnerability artifact except that the player's view is not affected.

• The Cleric phases between partial and total invisibility. Whilst completely invisible, projectiles can travel straight through the player.

• The Mage deflects incoming projectiles away from his body.

The effect lasts for 30 seconds.
