65th of Autumn 513AV ◾Discipline of personal magic to create three dimensional barriers to protect against foreign djed either by means of blocking it or absorbing it. ◾ Have size, shape, thickness therefore always remember to think three dimensional when creating one. ◾ Have variety and almost unlimited range of uses ◾ Mainly used to block the passage of djed across their spaces but as casters advance can task the shield to do more. The creation of shields can be done in a variety of ways just depends on the user and what works best for them. Times vary between casters, depending upon level and hastiness of the creation. If time and thought is not put into the creation, the shield might have various flaws and weaknesses not to mention will deteriorate much faster than a careful planned out shield. The hastily created shield will have inconsistencies of size, thickness and purpose which can lead to it not blocking or absorbing djed as planned. Shields are usually crafted by one individual but group ones are not unheard of. While individual shields have their purpose, a group created one is much more effective but only is as strong as their strongest shielder. Shields are for the most part invisible and will shimmer in moments when they come in contact by an outside force. A shielder that has alot of training under their belt is able to see a shield created by one that is equal to their level or below but unable to with a higher skill than them. A shield is like a mage's fingerprint or signature and can be linked back to a certain person if their work is well known. It also must be remembered that shields are living entities since their creation is from one's soul. They can possibly learn, adapt or even grow the older the shields are and how well they are maintained. With that being said with neglect they can quickly deteriorate. When creating a shield they must be tasked and always initially are to block/absorb foreign djed from passing through. Then they can be further tasked to either block out one of the senses. At lower levels the capabilities is greatly limited and can be loopholes by stacking multiple shields on top of each other, each with its own purpose.
