Adrien nodded, pleased; he knew of many sorcerers who had specialized in placing defensive enchantments on commission, and were doing very well for themselves - he'd hoped this could be something that he could learn how to do, and maybe one day make a career out of it. "Yes -- that's amazing", he commented. Then his smile turned wistful: "You could also make shatterproof plates and glasses, right?".

"Absolutely; all of mine are enchanted like that", Valerion replied.

Adrien chuckled weakly. "I'd wish I'd known this stuff back when I was working as a waiter...".

Valerion laughed. "Oh, no -- I'm so sorry...".

"Ah -- don't worry -- it's behind me now", Adrien giggled.

Valerion leaned back in his seat; then he sat up. "Ah -- I almost forgot to mention: defense magic can be used for protection against anything - not necessarily just physical danger; the same concept can be applied against more abstract threats, as well".
