What is Abjuration Magic?

Abdjuration magic is relatively rare

Abjuration is a special type of magic that allows beings to learn how to suppress other’s powers. This can be through spells, scientific understanding, or the pairing of another key with it.

Abjuration is very important in the protection of beings, both magical and non-magical, The people who use this key protect worlds from the creation of magical armies, and help individuals who have misjudged their power and have caused uncontrolled results. It has also allowed for the creation of the ranking registry. This is a registry of magical beings, where families with magical powers, must register and test their children on birth for magical potential. This allows the Magaus Alliance to understand how to work with these individuals if problems occur.

The 12th key allows users to

Create, modify and use incantations to stop other beings from performing or completing magic.
Masters in another key, who get abjuration powers, can amalgamate both skills to enhance them. This allows the user to have a truly unique combination of powers. The person is then more effective in their suppression of other magical powers.
Contain out of control magic, and counsel the person, or help to find them training.
A Magaus Alliance member tries to use abjugation on out of control magic.
Maintain, build, register magical beings and review files in the registry of magical beings.
In rare occasions, a council will convene to decide if a magical being can be stripped of their powers. This rarely happens. Only individuals who have committed the greatest crimes are even considered for this. If a magical being is to have their powers stripped, it takes at least two masters of abjuration to do this.

Who Uses High Abjuration Magic?

Adain Ain - First advising magus to Chaiz (also his cousin)- Since most of the magical beings who have abjuration abilities belong to the Magaus Alliance, there is an entire unit which oversees the alliance’s abjuration experiences. One of Adain’s responsibilities is to oversee the abjuration unit. If he feels something is out of control, something is not being done, or there needs to be a change in employees, he works with Elon and Chaiz to find an answer. He is a master of this magic.
Buina Spece - Main decision maker of the Abjuration unit. - She is responsible for the day to day running of the unit. She is also a master of this magic.

Limitations and Costs of Abjuration Magic

When abjuration shows in any magical beings, they are watched and mentored by the Magaus Alliance. Abjuration is a hard power to master. Individuals cannot practice it on other magical beings easily. Many times the person doesn’t know they have these powers until they pop up during a confrontation.

Newcomers to this key are often recruited and trained by the Magaus Alliance. They are not allowed to use their magic on anyone outside of training, until they have proved that they have understood and have mastered this key.

Masters are also highly regulated. Any time they use abjuration magic there is an in depth review of the situation. If the master is found guilty of wrongfully using the key, discipline is always given. The severity of the offense will decide the punishment.

This magic is very hard on the mind and body. Each time abjuration is used there is the possibility that the other magic will bounce back and affect them. Abjuration has hurt, maimed or killed many masters. It has also caused emotional pain that is so deeply traumatizing that it may take years to over come. This happens far too often.

Society, Technology and Daily Structures.

Abjuration masters are revered by many, because of their ability to destroy others. In some cultures they are more revered than Chaiz and Elon.

In all societies abjuration allows the Magaus Alliance to maintain an equilibrium in the universe. Magical beings do not attack others, build armies, or kill on a whim. Because of this key, peace between both magical and non magical beings is maintained on most occasions.
