}}
A spell used by Wizards to absorb damage through ha rock-like skin shielding.

==Skill Design==
One of the many shielding skills, all of different types, the Wizard has at her possession. Works very well with [[Damage Resistance]] and [[Weapon Mastery]] to create a sort of [[melee]] Wizard.

==Skill Rank Table==
''Put a table of the skill rank and damage/mana/fury per rank.''
* '''Rank 1:''' Shield yourself with rock and stone absorbing 30 damage.
Only Rank 1 is currently known.

==Synergies==
There are no direct synergies, but [[Damage Resistance]] and [[Weapon Mastery]] work very well with this spell.

==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.

==Development==
Spell was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled. It's still assumed to be available as of 6 August 2009.

==Trivia==
Stone Skin is one of the new Diablo spells, together with [[Magic Missile]] and [[Disintegrate]] who seems to be directly inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons pen and paper roleplaying game.

It's assumed it works the same way, but they have also decided to change the name of the spell, which they haven't thought of yet. Visually, it has become a purple/light blue crystallized armor (see image on right) and is now easily detectable.

+The powerful [[Wizard]] had little need of protective skills in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo. It's interesting to note the stats on this one; substantial absorbing defence, along the lines of the {{iw|Necromancer D2 Necromancer}}'s {{iw|Necromancer_Poison_and_Bone#Bone_Armor Bone Armor}}, but with quite a limited duration. A clever Wizard would have this and [[Mirror Image]] hot keyed and ready to chain cast when any great danger showed itself, but this has to be used wisely, with such a brief duration and long [[cooldown]].
