[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6313081, member: 51930"] According to the Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition, page 263 (Glossary of Problematic Words and Phrases) or section 5.220: abjure; adjure. To abjure is to deny or renounce under oath (ie: the defendant abjured the charge of murder) or to declare one's permanent abandonment of a place (ie: to abjure the realm). To adjure is to require someone to do something as if under oath ("I adjure you to keep this secret") or to urge earnestly (the executive committee adjured all the members to approve the plan). It would seem that the Aburation school of magic ought to be called the Adjuration, as it forces others (creature, objects or effects) to leave on alone, or to effect a resistance to said object. If my Wizard uses Mage Shield, he's deflecting attacks with magic: go away attacks, block those Magic Missiles. To say that he would be excusing himself from the effects of these (nouns) would seem to be side-stepping the general intent of the spells: protection-based spells. Can I get some feedback from others on this? [/QUOTE]
