Your magic creates arcane barriers and walls that protect you in all sorts of ways. In addition, you know how to fortify minds and bodies against all sorts of physical and arcane attacks.
Experience: You gain Warding experience when one of your warding spells breaks, or you survive a dangerous encounter, but not because you killed the threat.
Complications: There was a weakness in one of your wards. A Warding spell you have cast ends immediately.
