This topic discusses the command Dion.

From the action help:

   Dion is a defensive faith-based ritual.  
   It hardens the target's skin, providing protection against physical damage.                                                                      
   The hardening of the skin can result in a decrease in the flexibility (dexterity) of the target.

The actual hardening and dex changes are based on the reagent used and whether it is crushed. Values in the following table are (uncrushed/crushed)

Reagent	AC Effect	Dex Drop	Duration
Dead moss	1/1	1/0	3 min
Green moss	3/2	1/0	4 min
Dried fungus	3/4	1/2	6/8 min
Orange fungus	4/4	3/2	5/7 min
Red fungus	6/4	4/1	4/6 min
Bloodmoss	8/10	1/2	8/10 min

Duration is an approximation, it will vary based on how well the command is performed

reagent	Controls the set of possible reagents that can be used to perform the ritual.
implement	Controls the need for tools and time in performing the ritual.
hardness	Controls how effective the command is, more effective producing a greater hardening.
