@Havenstone first of all, great work so far! I really love playing this game, and can’t wait to buy the finished product.
I have a couple questions about the wards. Do they create a dome or a box that encloses all of the Empire or is it like a fence that ends at a certain altitude? Or is it non-contiguous with gaps or a serpentine?
Is the “shield” that the wards create visible or can it only be perceived by its effect?
You also mentioned that theurgy and weapons cannot cross the wards. Can you explain that a bit? What about things that have dual purposes like a pitchfork? What about blood vials? What about the practitioners of theurgy?
