Introduction: Some attack. Some defend. Some are born for combat. Others become protectors. The art of war is as much about the shield as it is the sword. Magic is no different. For every fireball, there is globe of invulnerability. The practice of defensive magic in all its forms is categorised as abjuration, the school of protection. If a spell bolsters the body, shields the mind or defends the soul, it is most likely an abjuration spell. While this school is rarely thought of as the most powerful of magic, few mages would give up the protection offered by its many useful spells.
