. . . and More Defenses

Dungeon Masters are encouraged to add detail as they wish. Magical defenses will tend to be used when needed. For example, if forces from a castle are about to strike into Iuz's conquered domain, priests will be ready to cover the retreat of a raiding party with spells such as spike stones and heat metal cast on metal-tipped spears embedded into earthworks. Mages can use similar and additional spells. However, spells such as stone shape or wall of stone are not generally used in rebuilding defenses except as temporary expediting measures. A simple dispel magic from an enemy can wreak havoc on such constructions!
