Effect	Filled with divine power, the channeler acts swiftly in defense of an ally. He moves to take the place of a nearby ally, even at his own expense. If movement would end with the channeler adjacent to an ally, he gains a +Rank bonus to Speed and may ignore speed reduction penalties when traveling through Threatened Spaces. When reaching the ally, the channeler may switch positions with his target (e.g. interposing themselves in between the target and an enemy). Allies protected in this way gain Light Cover for one round. If the ally protected is bonded to the channeler with Protector's Bond, the channeler additionally gains +2 Vigor.
