Notes

Bug.This skill does not actually become disabled, as it can be instantly recharged by Glyph of Renewal, and the recharge reduced by Glyph of Swiftness.

• The ward actually grants +12...22...24 armor against non-elemental damage and +24...43...48 against elemental damage. This distinction is important for the armor cap and armor calculation.
• The AI cannot detect a ward's presence. While remaining inside would be favourable, even flagged NPCs characters will run out of its protection whenever hit.

Trivia

• Prior to the release of Time Ward, this was the only elite ward spell. This and Teinai's Heat are the only Elementalist ward spells outside of Earth Magic.
• This is one of five elite skills seen in pre-Searing Ascalon, the other four being Barrage, Bull's Charge, Earth Shaker, and Hundred Blades.
• Elementalist Aziure enlists the player to help her research this skill.
