== 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 {{gr|12|24|+}} armor against non-elemental damage and {{gr|24|48|+}} against elemental damage. This distinction is important for the [[Effect stacking|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 (nine in {{reforgedmode}}) elite skills seen in [[pre-Searing Ascalon]], where it is used by [[Elementalist Aziure]]. The other four are [[Barrage]], [[Bull's Charge]], [[Earth Shaker]], and [[Hundred Blades]] (with [["Victory Is Mine!"]], [[Greater Conflagration]], [[Plague Signet]], and [[Elemental Attunement]] in Reforged Mode).
* Elementalist Aziure enlists the player to [[The Elementalist Experiment|help her research this skill]].
