Description While performing this rite, the caster must [[Rites#Preparing the Space|draw a circular line] on the ground with a diameter of up to 10ft/3m, consuming one unit of powdered bone.


The level of the rite is equal to the magic points spent in its casting.

At the conclusion of this rite, the circle becomes an impassable barrier to any supernatural creature whose powers arise from the Plane of Undeath, whose level is equal to or less than the level of the ward.

For the duration of the effect, if they are outside the ward, they may not enter it, and if they are inside, they may not leave. This applies whether the undead is corporeal or spiritual in nature.

If any creature bodily crosses the ward (merely touching or stepping over it doesn’t count) or the physical line is broken, the effect ends immediately.
