![]() Julia was able to bypass the wards on Joyful Deli by pulling a cabinet through various dimensions before relocating it back at her warehouse. Hannah, Kady's mother, was also able to pick one of Julia Wicker's wards surrounding a warehouse she was temporarily using, though the ward itself was stated to be weak. Martin Chatwin displayed this ability when breaking down the wards of Marina Andrieski's apartment. However, Deities and their demigod offspring are able to at least bypass Psychic Wards, though Reynard the Fox, a Trickster god, was unable to access the heavily warded area of Brakebills. This takes the form of magically unstitching the wards by piecing apart the magical formulas used to erect them. The only way proven to circumvent a ward is through the act of "picking" a ward, akin to how one would pick a lock. The bond is capable of being adjusted so as to restrict the target within a geographical boundary, as is the case for Mischa Mayakovsky's punishment. The theoretical mechanics are simplified as the Bond serving as a 'four-dimensional paperweight' acting upon the affected object. This form of warding locks a three-dimensional object with a four-dimensional anchor, rendering it almost impossible to move. Stated to be the last line of defense in magical security, Incorporate Bonds are virtually unbreakable. Plum Purchas set off a number of alarms at the school, signifying that the wards had been breached, when she and Quentin Coldwater, a Professor at the time, were dragged across subspace by the then Niffin form of Alice Quinn, due to Plum attempting to play out an elaborate prank on a student by the name of Wharton. ![]() This is one of the many wards used to protect Brakebills' campus. Subspace wards are a form of magical protection against tampering with the space-time continuum. Due to this, Penny Adiyodi had to resort to using a Gravity Belt in order to remain off of the warded floor of a bank vault, able to Travel in and out so long as he remained airborne. These wards, used in bank vaults in the form of sigils, are used to prevent Travelers from escaping after touching them. This is one of the many wards used to protect Brakebills campus. This form of ward magic dispels magical attacks. This form of protection is adequate enough to keep Reynard the Fox out of the Brakebills campus. This form of ward magic creates a substantial barrier between two areas, functioning as a sort of 'force field' to repel any intrusion from those beyond its borders. These wards are used to hide areas from detection. However, beings with extreme magical capabilities, such as the demigod John Gaines, are able to bypass these wards to access the mind. This form of magic is used extensively by Kady Orloff-Diaz, whose mental wards are virtually impenetrable as potent Psychics such as Penny Adiyodi, and Master Magician Mischa Mayakovsky were unable to discern her thoughts until she dropped her wards. ![]() Psychic wards are used to protect a magician from any telepathic invasion, such as mind reading and possession. The wards of Brakebills are able to be bypassed by those with expressed permission, given to graduates in the form of Brakebills University Alumni Keys, and are encoded to Professors for undaunted access. In certain applications, wards are used to create high-end locks, encryption and other security devices, including more aggressive countermeasures such as magical traps. They are able to be perceived through either the use of a Revelation Charm and charmed lenses, or by powerful magical beings revealing wards with a gesture. Wards appear as a visible grid of magical formulas and symbols bound by lines of phosphorescent magical energy. They function on different levels of power, and are erected from either spellcraft or sigils. Wards serve as shields meant to keep something in, or out, of a specified area, and come in many variations so as to protect against the many forms of magic.
