oh so THAT'S how the shield works

Tolys: "Kind of. It's a bit more complicated than that. It essentially took a life of its own, and leeches non-essential magic to keep itself alive. So, water spirits like Feliks would be less affected by it than someone casting a simple charm. The charm isn't essential, but being able to move water for a water spirit is. There's exceptions to it, but finding them these days is rare."
