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 (nine in Reforged Mode) 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 help her research this skill.
