Contrary to what many believe, a mage's most deadly opponent isn't a well-trained assassin or warrior. It is the very same tool that a spellweaver wields as a weapon: magic. The wizard flinging exploding balls of fire halfway across of a battlefield is to be feared, of course, but more terrifying is the thaumaturgist who can put a stop it, and render other spellcasters useless. Abjuration is a school of magic most widely known for its protective enchantments and enhancements, but it also has spells designed to subvert or cancel unwanted or harmful magic. Many think of Counterspell as the most primary example of stopping a stray Fireball or Lightning Bolt, but consider the plight of cursed items binding to an unwitting victim, or about the witch who hexes her enemies. Cursed items can only be removed and destroyed with the aid of Abjuration, and hexes, while unaffected by standard healing spells, are purged by Abjuration.

Wait.... is this actually traditionally painted, or is that just a canvas texture? Either way, this came out beautifully!
I'm unsure! It looks like they do speedpaint commissions, but it could just be a texture.
Regardless, glad you like it! :>

i think of a worse foe. A large friend who delivers bone crushing hugs to the fragile human
Need to wear this mage on a chain around my neck. Handy to dispel incoming evocation magic.
Bah! I'm not some dragon trinket!
...usually. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

That sounds about right. But I agree! zionnefitta does lovely work, and I'm super happy to have gotten a piece from them!
And thank you for the kind words! I've been wanted to get more serious pieces for a while, and this is one I'm definitely glad to have purchased.

Love the action in this piece! Certainly proves how valued you would be in a party.
Indeed! No party is complete without a talented spell slinger somewhere! Glad you like it! :>
The quality of this looks like something that would belong an a MTG card. Very nice.
Yeah! zionnefitta did an absolutely stunning job!
