Good points.
Being able to Aura Blast garrisons just rubs me wrong. I suppose if there
was stone and wood in the garrison and it was destroyed that means that the
wood and stone was mind blasted out of existence.
I think you hit farcast right on the head.
As far as protection from Aura Blasts I think it should be a prayer like
you say. It just seems right having a priest defend against black magick.
Although I would make it work like Appear Common works instead of like
Immunity from Vision. Say one defense protects somewhere between half a game
year and a full game year. And it should not be cumulative either. That way
you need to plan your defense against Aura Blasts at home and when on
campaign instead of just pilling it on.
