Abjuration: The School of Aegis

Abjuration: The School of Aegis

Abjuration is the art of defense magic. Creation of magical barriers/negation of harmful effects/harming trespassers/banishment of creatures.

How does it relate to the Wards of Arthur14579?

The Abjuration Ward – they’re on the right track with this one but have entirely the wrong focus. They are using it to protect themselves when in actual fact the spell, tinyfication, is an abjuration spell. The ward is for the population as a whole and not the individual. Examples of correct abjuration are; peace shield, traps etc.

Professor Ardent Pheastall

Nature to Merl – Ally – he has an open mind and anything he foresees as help is cool in his book. However, this is only after stubborn resistance when Merl begins to question the path of their studies and tries to work out how to form a peace shield.

Age – Old as the hills

Description: Ardent is a portly soul. His gray hair is swept backward making it look like his head is taller than it is. He wears his clothes baggy, with his pants cinched in at the bottom (don’t want those rats crawling up there) and an oversized waistcoat that has hundreds of pockets. His white shirt is all stains and cuffs and he wears a bright red scarf that is pinned with the insignia of the School of Aegis – a Silver Portcullis on a copper background.

The School of Aegis, nicknamed SOS - the School of Shield - is located in the south east quarter of Quintz city. It sits at the intersection of the southern road and the Greater Circle. The building is shaped like a classic shield. Its flat edge faces the inner city, with its grand curve facing the Greater Circle. It is made of gray stone with twisted colonnades leafed in copper plate. The building is grand, imposing. Its long central hallway strides down its center with unfettered authority. Countless offices, dorms and workshops lead from it. On three levels, much is not in use, and under, endless catacombs hide a multitude of secrets.

It is rumored that the best form of defense is surrender, but whether Ardent Pheastall conspires with the Mercer is yet to be mulled.
