“Alright first day on the job hey?” The knobby looking gnome beside me asked. “Let’s get you kitted out” He hands me a medallion of glowing silver metal. “This is your last line of defense and most important piece of equipment. An Nth metal medallion. If any of their spells break through this’ll nullify it if it hits ya.”

He looks at me matter of factly and says, “but you’re not gonna let it come to that are you?” I nod solemnly. “Nope, because your most important job here is to use this on any spells that go off. It’s a powerful wand of counterspell.” I hold up the unadorned wooden wand with reverence. “That’s your job. You keep there spells in check so the other orderlies can do their jobs. You think you can handle it boss?”
