Spell-Guard

History

The Templar Order were founded by the Celian Tathamite Church early in its foundation as the military wing of the church capable of defending its clergy during their travels, monitoring the wizards in the newly found academies and dealing with spectres and rouge magi. While these warriors were trained in certain abjuration and evocation magics to counter the mages powers shields were carefully designed and enchanted to assist their efforts. Named ‘Spell-Guard’ these shields were able to absorb some of the mages power becoming resistant to it until the foe is subdued.
