Ward

A ward is a magical, rune-forged device used for a variety of purposes in the Aeon of the Champion story series, though these purposes are almost always security-related. Mageguard, the protections-service provider for the Council of Arcanists and its high council, The Seven, installed wards on all the Deposits, Chambers and Laboratories in Grevalon to protect these exclusive premises from potential trespassers.

A ward will activate if the rune inside is live. The only way to disable one is to destroy or disarm it by cracking the rune.

Trivia

 * Wards used by the Mageguard are often of the 'scanning' type.
