	'''Ward masks''' are a type of magical defense traditionally used by those living in [[~~Laurentia~~]] and [[Razgovir]]. In their simplest forms they are protective runes that are painted on the body, typically on the face, designed to trigger when their bearer is targeted by some ill effect. Ward masks often get quite complicated, however, and the most refined include multiple layers of defenses - these can ~~get~~ visually very complex as their magical patterns overlap and play off each other. They are primarily drawn on faces, but some may choose to have ward-masks applied to their arms, legs, or other areas of exposed skin. The intricate body paint for which ~~Laurentian~~ warriors are well known is the result of ward masking, or else is an attempt to project an image of invulnerability with mundane paints.
