Via Tutela

The Via Tutela is one of the nine vias, or "ways", of mages in the Ars Magica - a subset of the school's formalized magical theories. The "Way of Protection" is as studied by "pure" academic wizards as it is by martial organizations like the Scholarly Order of the Azurejay, owing to the general utility of the school. Using these theories, a wizard can project powerful magical barriers or defuse latent magical energies, making them capable of everything from turning blades with their robes to warding entire precincts from entry. This is the school of wards, abjurations, reinforcement, locks, and barriers. Some Arcane Seminaries make this school their first lessons as a way of preventing students from being harmed by their experiments in later sessions.
