Footman's Defend Animation as Spell

[FireEffect]

I have a shield bash spell and i want to use the defend animation when he casts it then it goes back to his stand animations. Ive tried messing with the animation stuff in the object editor but i cant figure it out.

Well, you could use triggers to use the spell. like add the spell with it hidden then use it, and when you want it to stop use it again to disable it.
