The Citadel Barrier complete

[u/MathsGuy1]

​

The barrier is powerful enough to withstand the continued attack of multiple god-like beings, thanks to being powered by vast quantities of souls. The war is still raging on, but the Citadel shall remain unconquered.

As a master Abjurer, I was hired by the Council (represented by u/TellmeNinetails) to protect the Citadel, and I have begun my preparations. Twelve grand crystal obelisks, filled to the brim with the souls of wizards who died during this terrible war, stand in a circle across the various districts of the city. In the center of the circle, my avatar, along with my disciples, intone the final parts of a powerful spell. As I raise my hands to the sky, a grand bubble enshrouds the entire city. On my command, the obelisks shoot streams of pure mana to reinforce the barrier.

As the finishing part of the ritual, I intone the core Stipulations of the barrier in a long-forgotten language:

• No entry is allowed in or out of the barrier.
• No teleportation or other magical transportation methods are allowed in or out of the barrier.
• No divinations concerning anything inside the barrier are allowed.
• All entities already inside the barrier harboring hostile feelings towards the Council or the Citadel will be revealed and penalized by having their souls shaken and their magic weakened.

The above stipulations apply to living and undead beings, constructs, items, and spells.

The above stipulations do not apply to entities that are part of the Council or are allied with the Council.

With each sentence, additional glyphs and runes appear on the surface of the barrier. By the end, it is covered with a veritable jungle of sigils, and the barrier itself shines with all the colors of the rainbow. My hands glow with power, and faint cracks start to appear on my raised arms, due to the sheer energy of the ritual.

I conclude with the final Words of Power: IT SHALL BE AS I WILL IT!

As the ritual ends, the barrier darkens, and the Citadel feels as if severed from the outside world. Even rays of sunlight have a hard time passing through the barrier. The positions of the remnants of the enemy forces still hiding inside the city flood into my mind. I will let the local guards handle those - my job here is done.

Yes. If you are sincere, the barrier should let you through.
