Shield

A shimmering blue orb that encircles a selected area. Repels physical objects and magic alike with the exception of silver objects.

The bullet passed clean through my Shield and exited on the other side.

"What kind of Shield do you call that?"

"They're using silver bullets."

Dimmu Borgir

Norwegian symphonic black metal band. While middle-aged people generalize their lyrics as dark and angsty, unlike The Beatles, they have the ability to cover more than one topic in a single album, including poetically challenging extremist conservative religious fanatics, the definition of morality, telling a narrative of Satan's assistant, and several more if you understand Norwegian.

Occasionally their music videos or lyrics contain unjustifiably objectionable material, but I interpret that this is their message to their fans not to become mindless followers of their band.

If you had to mass-generalize Dimmu Borgir, you'd have to call them a cross between heavy metal and classical.

Pulse

A marble-sized ball, only visible on the seventh plane or higher, that floats around an area and returns to its caster. Its color upon return signals the strength of the magic in the area, the lowest being blue, and the highest being indigo.

I dodged the Pulse that came over my head easily and continued on my flight.

Asking For It

The final frontier of denial, "asking for it" is a mentality people use to justify the world being less horrible than it is. Most commonly it is used to pretend that a rape victim 'subliminally' or 'subtly' gave consent, but it can also be used in context to say someone who leaves a quarter on the ground is just as guilty as the thief who steals it of the crime, having 'tempted' the criminal or perpetrator. In extremist cases, such as a few sects of Muslim religion, some women are forced to cover their hair to prevent 'tempting' men.

Pertaining to sex, it is statistically estimated that about 1/3 men buy in Britain conform to the "asking for it" mentality.

"Did you hear about Katie? I feel really sorry for her."
"Nah, man, she was asking for it."
