Battering Resistance

Fortification enchantment on the stronghold's oversized door, reducing damage from battering attacks.

Story so far

When Carl touches the Oversized, Cumbersome Door to help pull it open, an info box lists the fortification at 80% strength with 3/3 enchantments active: Battering Resistance, Force Reflection, and Heat Absorption. The box notes that increasing quality would increase enchantment capacity, meaning apprentice-quality work caps out at three.

Enchantments like this are the province of the staff Tipid recruited for the Stronghold, led by the yenk Langrim, and they are what the crews are testing when they throw fireballs at the freshly raised palisade sections.

Role

One of three enchantments hardening the stronghold's main door against attack.

Relationships

Oversized, Cumbersome Door — One of its three active enchantments.
