  Scaling the shield size off the number of enemies nearby is already less PvP focused, leaning this morph more PvE anyway. I like the play pattern of conditional shield scaling based on enemies nearby, it incentivizes strategic positioning and pulls, so I wanted to keep that element. However, without drastically increasing the damage, this Skill isn't DPS focused enough to warrant space on a DPS bar. I turned the Skill back towards the Tank role instead of trying to be both DPS and Tank. I dropped the damage element of the current Radiant Ward design to give this morph the budget for a more traditionally PvE Tank aligned Skill.
  
  Added an enemy debuff when the shield is likely to be under pressure, and a group buff to encourage interesting play patterns (dodge roll more often, stay close to allies, sprint kite mobs, use stuns)
  
• Blazing Shield (Morph):

  Create a tether of solar rays to a nearby enemy with the highest Max Health and gain a damage shield that absorbs up to 4800 damage for 6 seconds. This portion of the ability scales off your Max Health. The shield's strength is increased by 20% of the Max Health of the tethered enemy, up to a maximum of 120%.
  
  While tethered, you cannot receive debuffs from the enemy and the enemy takes 30% of the damage the shield takes. The tether is broken if the enemy moves 8 meters away from you, goes invisible, or if the shield ends.

  I went with a tether for a couple reasons. I think it helps to capture the "sacred ground" mentality of the Templar without being just another ground based AOE. Tethered enemies have the option of moving outside the Templar "House", thus interrupting the general Templar strategy. Also, I think it fits the Templar visual. It's essentially a beam of holy fire emanating from the user, binding the enemy to the player.
  
  This design leans for more PvP applications, but is not limited exclusively to PvP. It could be applicable to PvE Tank builds as well, just in a different way from the other morph. It focuses less on having many ads near by and more on boss level monsters with large health pools. The tether serves as a good indication to the Tank of the highest hitting NPC the Tank needs to taunt, the shield is OK in size, and the inability to receive debuffs once tethered could be a skill based aspect with timing in certain fights.
  

Upon activating an Aedric Spear ability. You and allies within 5 meters gain Minor Protection for 6 seconds, reducing damage taken by 5%.

• Dark Flare (Morph):

  Conjure a ball of corrupted solar energy to heave at an enemy, dealing 1742 Disease Damage, and dealing an additional 1635 Disease Damage over 8 seconds.
  
  Afflicts the target and enemies within 8 meters with Major Defile, reducing their healing received and Health Recovery by 16% for 8 seconds, and Weaken, reducing the damage of their Light and Heavy Attacks by 50% for 8 seconds.

  The current design is very disjointed. Defile debuffs are really only relevant in PvP, but Empower is now a PvE only buff. Players that want Empower can source it way better from Solar Barrage, which works better for PvE anyway. Splitting the power budget for this morph between PvE and PvP is just making it terrible for both (not to mention Defile has been neutered so hard it's hardly worth caring about).
  
  I removed the Empower and Sunsphere buffs in favor of a more debuff heavy design to contrast the more DPS focused Solar Barrage morph. Created a new named debuff similar to Empower, but reducing LA/HA damage instead. Reducing the damage of LA/HA would be applicable to both Tank and Support roles in PvE while still being moderately useful in PvP depending on HA metas.
  
  Changed the damage type to Disease to give a chance of procing Minor Defile as a status effect as well. This choice may not seem very Templar, but I thought it was an interesting one-off morph design that could fit this darker Skill. Alternatives would be just keeping Magic Damage and adding Minor Defile, or increasing Major Defile to 24% over 16%. Weaken could also be changed to Minor Cowardice instead, similar to Corrupting Pollen, but I wanted the reduction to be much more pronounced since it's going to be limited to LA/HA only.
  

Envelop an enemy in a lightless sphere for 6 seconds, limited to one. While enveloped in the sphere, the targets maximum range is reduced to 20 meters.

Whenever the enemy deals direct damage, the sphere lashes back at the attacker dealing 898 Magic Damage to themselves.

  Added AOE damage and some Healing hate to solidify this morph as much more DPS oriented, in contrast to the Living Dark defensive morph. Also, this is aligned more toward PvP given the low amount of healing in PvE and prevalence of healing in PvP. It's still applicable to PvE however with the AOE damage upgrade to the base Eclipse ability.
  

• Radiant Glory (Morph):

  Cost: 2950 Magicka, 2950 Health
  
  Blind an enemy with a ray of holy light for 3 seconds, causing them to miss direct attacks against you and become off balanced for the duration. Casting again within 6 seconds increases the cost by 33%.
  
  You pour your vitality into this defense, restoring up to 1500 Magicka every 1 second, based on the target's missing Health.

  The intention of this design is to align this morph more for non-DPS roles and work as a sort of Tank execute. The Radiant Oppression morph is the clear DPS-centric choice, so this morph can stand out more by not trying to compete on damage and being more unique. Also, dropped healing from this morph since it feels like Templar is bit overloaded on heals and this could be an opportunity to do something different. Added a ramping cost, similar to Streak, to help prevent over casting unless the target is very low. Though a 3 second channel and health is still a cost.
  
  This was a bit hard to balance, so I may still have the numbers wrong. The cost should be 2950 Magicka (3925 if spamming), not including Restoring Spirit passive. At 50% health, you'll restore 2250 Magicka. At 25% health, you'll restore 3375. At 10% health, you'll restore 4050 Magicka. So, if they're spamming, they shouldnt really see a return until 10% health. That might still be too strong, but the player is priced into a 3 second channel the whole time; they aren't doing much else.
  

When you cast a Dawn's Wrath ability, you and your group gain Minor Sorcery for 20 seconds, increasing your Spell Damage by 10%. If you are in combat, you also generate 3 Ultimate. This effect can occur once every 6 seconds.

Reduce the damage you take from Area of Effect abilities by 15% while a Dawn's Wrath ability is active.

Channel the grace of the gods, giving you immunity to all disabling effects for 6 seconds. You can move at a reduced rate while channeling.

For the duration, you gain Major Toughness. You and nearby allies heal for 2787 Health every 1 second.

  This morph is targeted more for Support Healer and less for Tank. Without being able to hold block, a Tank may find this morph too problematic to use, even though the Heroism sounds nice. A Support Healer will be able to use this morph to buff the team through difficult situations. The Ult gen from Heroism and Light Weaver also helps to subvert the disappointment that occurs when someone accidentally pops this Ult prematurely.
  
• Forged Incantation (Morph):

  Channel the grace of the gods, giving you immunity to all disabling effects, and allowing you to automatically block all attacks at no cost for 6 seconds. You cannot move while channeling.
  
  For the duration, you gain Major Toughness. 50% of all direct damage you receive is converted into healing for you and your allies. This effect can occur once every half second.

  This morph is targeted more for Tank and less for Support Healer. To make the player a bit more survivable, so they can keep on healing allies, I gave the Ult a forced block during the duration. This is obviously similar to Shield Wall, with the additional downside that you cannot move while channeling AND you cannot perform other actions since you're channeling; which is fairly significant! In exchange, the user gets a nice health buff and heals nearby allies so that they can keep going; which is kinda the point of this Ult! In this way, the hope is that Tanks can now use this Ult for difficult situations, without worrying as much about just dying to a boss HA, and keep the rest of the team on their feet for rezing, blocking, healing, whatever is needed.
  

While in combat, whenever you heal an ally with a Restoring Light ability, you grant them 2 Ultimate every 2 seconds for 6 seconds.

Increase your Magicka Recovery by 129 for each Restoring Light ability slotted
