But that fact is rooted in the language of their marking powers, while the language in Swordmage's Decree seems to say that all targets are marked with the Aegis, end of story.I think you have it right, and I was missing something. Somehow, in my mind, the hybrid version had modified the phrase quoted by keterys, but, upon stricter review, this does not appear to be the case. Pemerton and Keterys are correct: old aegis marks would fade as soon as the regular power was re-used. Swordmage's Decree, in its re-usable form, would allow a single additional marked enemy during the encounter, and this additional mark cannot be spread to additional enemies, as far as I can tell.This makes this defender a very tactically interesting one, one that must consider who to mark, and how to get in position to mark them, and how to juggle minor actions in order to be able to do so.Higher stakes than nerds cavillously debating the finer points of hybrid aegis marking? I think you are mistaken: this is the internet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
