# Anti-Magic & Wards
## Overview
As magic advanced, so too did methods for resisting it.
Anti-magic techniques are essential for protecting cities, vaults, temples, and important individuals from supernatural threats.
Rather than eliminating magic entirely, most defenses weaken, redirect, or suppress magical effects.
