Arcshaper's Barrier, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
There you have it, one arcane nullifier! Using their weapon and magical signatures to cloak the spell, it should tear apart the shield as good as any spellbreaker would. Go teach that amateur spellslinger what it means to wage war against the sin'dorei!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nullified
The magus in charge of the defenses here is powerful. Perhaps too strong, even for the both of us. Fortunately, the sin'dorei know a thing or two about magic. The mage's barrier is strong, but we are clever.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Break An Arm
The insurgents you marshaled gave me some bad news, <name>. The arcanists loyal to Elisande have reactivated the Arm of the Magistrix. The most powerful construct ever attempted, it raged out of control and decimated an entire district before it was disabled.
