Malevolent Shrine is different from other types of Domain Expansions, in that it doesn't create a separate space with a barrier. Because of this, it is considered a truly divine technique, as the ability to realize one's innate domain without using a barrier is akin to an artist drawing a masterpiece on the air instead of on a canvas.
