Bulwark
Bulwark is a special status effect that acts like a shield.

Mechanics
A demon with an active Bulwark will display a blue bar above their HP bar.
Each Bulwark has an HP amount. When a demon with a Bulwark is attacked, the Bulwark will absorb as much of that damage as possible, and then the demon receives the remaining damage.
- For example: if a demon would receive 750 damage but has a 500 HP Bulwark, the Bulwark will absorb 500 damage, and the demon will then take the remaining 250 damage.
Bulwarks can absorb all types of damage received, including Fractional Damage.
The HP of a Bulwark can stack (for example: 500 + 500 = 1000), but the Bulwark's total HP cannot exceed the affected demon's maximum HP.
The HP of a Bulwark does not count as "real" HP for purposes of healing skills or Fractional Damage. The demon's actual HP is used for those calculations.
