Wards & Magical Suppression
Added 2024-04-06 07:00:23 +0000 UTCWards
Wards are more or less large, invisible shields that surround a certain area. They vary in type and protective ability, as they are all created from different forms of magic. As such, each ward’s weakness is different to that of another’s. All, however, can be destroyed with brute force (albeit an unprecedented amount of it).
Magic Suppression
Magic-suppressing wards do not exist. This is because witches and wizards do not actually hold magic, but they draw magic from around themselves.
By using wand magic, they are bringing that magic into themselves, changing it, and sending it out. With wandless magic, they are simply changing the magic without bringing it in (and, as such, can not accomplish nearly as much).
Either way, they simply manipulate the magic around them; they do not truly hold any magic of their own.
The same can be said about any and all other magical species.
Wards that are thought to suppress a witch or wizard’s magic actually are area wards that prevent magic from entering a certain space.
