Anti-Magic Shell
Hexagon-tiled multi-layer magic shield being raced into place over the crawler base before the ceasefire expires.
Story so far
Through the walls of the Field Hospital, Carl hears the clanging, pulsing sound of rapid construction as the multi-layer anti-magic shell goes up over The New Base. The crews are behind schedule, with shouting coming from several directions at once — a real problem with only 31 hours left on The Ceasefire.
The structure looks like a child's jungle gym, built so that different mages can cast into different hexagons of the frame, tile by tile. That layout produces stronger overall protection while denying the enemy a single point of failure: killing a mage normally cancels every active protection spell they are maintaining, so distributing the casting across many hexes means no single kill collapses the shield.
Appearance
A lattice resembling a kid's jungle gym, divided into hexagonal tiles, each hex holding a separate mage's spell.
Role
The base's primary defense against magical bombardment when the ceasefire ends.
