'''Diamond Skin''' is a Tier 4 [[skill]] unlocked for the [[Wizard]] at level 10, protecting the caster from incoming damage.
The spell description as captured at Blizzcon 2010 reads:
:Turns the Wizard's skin to diamond for x seconds absorbing up to y damage from incoming attacks.

Diamond skin absorbs all types incoming damage. The skill expires after the duration runs out, or it absorbs the maximum possible damage. There is a substantial cool down before it can be recast, and the short duration makes it wise to cast just before damage is to be taken.

The damage absorbed appears to increase by 20 per skill point. At level 5 this skill is confirmed to absorb 100 damage.
 
 
==Trait Bonuses==
None yet known.
 
 
==Runestone Effects==
Wizards in the PvP Arena gained 50% more damage absorption from a [[Runestone]] in the 2010 Blizzcon demo. It's not known which rune granted this bonus.
 
 
==Development==
 
This skill started off as [[Iron Skin]] but the developers wanted a more attractive visual, and a snazzy sounding name, and it evolved into Diamond Skin.
