Abjuration as a defensive form of magic that provides wards or other projections against various elements. Mainly divided into the three categories of "Physical Wards", "Magical Wards", and wards such as "Trespassing Wards". Ajburation Adepts are typically very knowledgeable about the land and creatures due to the necessity in order to create a ward that will work against such a target. Adepts of this school typically have a very defensive style in combat, however typically a graduate of this school prefers a more peaceful life, and chose this school to protect where they may live.
Three general categories dominate the school of Abjuration:
- Physical Wards
- Magical Wards
- Trespassing Wards
Each of these categories serves for distinctive, if not obvious, purposes.
Physical Wards: These wards protect the adept or target from physical harm. These wards can sustain a certain amount of damage/force before breaking, or they can be left up for varying lengths of time before the ward disappears, leaving the target vulnerable to physical harm. These types of wards generally are one of the two most used types, since many in this school just want to be left alone.
Magical Wards: These wards will protect the adept or target from magical effects or abilities. These wards can only protect against a certain level of magic, depending on the strength of the ward, however, will stop any magic from affecting the target until the ward is broken, or its time has run out. These are the second most used wards by adepts of this school, since Kalg'rai is a dominantly magical continent.
Trespassing Wards: These wards are by no means combat oriented. Trespassing wards are put into place to keep anything, or certain creatures, out from a specified region. These wards can banish one to another realm of existence, repel creatures that try to pass it, or otherwise harm trespassers into keeping them away from the warded area. These wards are usually the most powerful wards, because they tend to be permanent, and actually produce the most effects when "tested".
