-“Such a struggle! Such conflux...such conflict! Truly, Masters fought here. And one was surely an Abrogation Master. For without the skill to see the residuals, one would never know. For not so much as a crushed blade of grass betrays the power that was released here.” – '''Anonymous Attunement Master, [[The Seekers]]'''

 Upon realizing this step, the Praetor is capable of one final and pinnacle ability of Abrogation, and that is the ability to Abolish.
-The Final Revealed technique of Abrogation is one of the most fundamentally destructive techniques in magic. Most who study Abrogation cannot begin to comprehend the enormous potential of such an ability in the early expertise, and rarely even at mastery. The revelation of this ability comes with an Abrogator who has truly excelled to the end of their mastery. Abolish is an ability seen and used rarely. While Attunement and Transmutation can temporarily nullify magic where it rears, Abolish is the only technique that truly destroys it. Abolish requires the Abrogator be within close proximity, usually touching, of a magical artifact, well, or other construct created of or powered by magic. With their own ether they insidiously reverse the flow of ether and essentially ‘abolish’ the magic back into Emea. Magical items will be destroyed, wells harmlessly dispersed. Abolish is supposedly a technique originally designed to combat [[Lich |liches]] and the power they put into protecting their phylactories. The level of magic invested in an object will decide how costly this ability is to the Abrogator. For some, it could mean drastically overstepping...but some are willing to make this sacrifice to banish some of the darker examples of magic from the world at large. This technique has been kept secret among Abrogators as few have raised themselves to such status. If many mages could guess at this ability, Abrogators would be targeted. Unlike Transmutation, Abrogation makes no attempt to understand the nature of these ether constructs, it only Abrogates them, abolishing them from the face of Idalos.

 ==The Praetor==
-When a mage Reveals to become a [[:Category: Praetor | Praetor]], Idalos trembles. The Praetor is final result of the Abrogation Spark and a mage's towering ambition. Wrapped in fields of Replicative force, the Praetor is formed in pressure and pain. When it emerges, its former humanity is washed away, leaving only the memories, ambitions, and drives of the mage behind. Often up to a foot taller than the mage, the Praetor's skin ripples like waves on the sea, flickering with curious colors and mesmerizing mandalas. The magnitude of their etheric connection is focused inward, rather than outward, and the Praetor seems almost to devour light and sound around it. Broad, but elegant, these beings tend to be fairly similar to the Crux in terms of appearance. Where they differ is in the construction of their new body. Whereas the Transmuter Crux is drawn of curves and gentle lines, the Praetor is sharp angles and ridges. Often their body resembles armor in a certain sense, a segmented rigidity and design to their skin, especially around the joints. Their eyes are opaque wells of swirling, shimmering design. A Praetor's body functions as well made steel armor for the purpose of being dealt damage but often makes the Praetor a difficult Revelation to conventionally hide.

 ==Exultant Barrier==
-This powerful barrier is a testament to the skill of an Abrogator of this level. A force of power, the Abrogator can create a powerful wall of force, sustained solid by his ether. This wall can be either opaque or transparent and is strong enough to withstand an assault for a few breaks. Abrogators of this level are often tasked with being the vanguard of a retreating unit, creating a wall that shields them from harm or being pursued. The Wall is a purely defensive measure and when finally destroyed or ruptured, it detonates, hurling a wall of force at the side that destroyed it. Curiously, this Shield wall is impressively reactive to Domain magic. While the Abrogator can allow any to pass through it, a domain caster will immediately be unveiled. A [[Rupturing | Rupturer]] cannot blink past such an obstacle and must instead teleport to a point around it, unable to actually fold their space through it. A Revealed Wall can stretch as Wide as a Rupturer's Rend, which can sometimes be quite some distance. Owing to the size, an Abrogator can choose to manifest this as a much smaller and thicker projection for less ether. This ability should not be attempted on a grand scale unless the Abrogator is prepared to accept the consequences of their Overstepping.

 Those magic users not possessing any of these selected abilities will still be blocked by the force, but will suffer no backlash unless they attack it with magic. This will then inflict a level of Overstepping, though it consumes two charges, since it was not one of the originally-selected abilities. The touch of other revealed mages that DO possess any of the selected abilities will suffer this same backlash, but will also cause two charges to be consumed in the process. Once all the charges are consumed, the wall dissipates. The revealed Abrogator can only cast this revealed spell once per trial, and it brings him immediately to the brink of Overstepping.

 ==Muting==
-This ability, learned at Novice level, allows the Abrogator to place a magic-inhibiting barrier that hides his magic domain powers. This means that others can not sense his magic affinities using [[Attunement]] and other revelatory magic of similar level. At higher levels, this can be placed on a hostile target to require them to spend a greater amount of effort and ether for the same result. Muting cannot be maintained indefinitely and is an activated aspect of Abrogation. A general Mute on a mage is a specific spell dampener, but not one with the same power as a preemptive field. Mute around expertise and Mastery can be combined with Nemesis disciplines to alter the way ether is processed in a mage. For non-forceful magic, like the magic focused on the self, ether can be twisted around to make utilizing certain techniques or transformations difficult or impossible for those under the level of the mage casting it.

 This is a far more common application of Abrogative theory, and one that requires the knowledge of other disciplines. In this case, you are trying to neutralize the structure of a purposed cast as it is being focused. Obviously, you can not reach into an enemy's soul to perform a preemptive action against his work. So instead, you use ether gathered to create a field or cone of counter focus against the anticipated spell. For this reason it is extremely helpful to know the tendencies of that particular enemy; what magics he uses, what gestures he employs during casting, or both. You have to have "felt" the shape, pulse and swirl of the spell's structure before to do this, whether it was directed at you or not. All the knowledge and surety of what is being cast will not help you form a counter field to it, if you have no familiarity with the shape and polarity of the spell. In short, you can't form a counter to a spell you know nothing about.
-Spells that focus no external force... some aspects of [[Necromancy]], Becoming are not dispelled by such measures, although this field is extremely useful against [[Aberration]], [[Defiance]], [[Empathy]] (when it is sensed), and Transmutation.

 Often mages find that learning new disciplines when high in Abrogation can be just as difficult as learning Abrogation when they have other magics. Due to the nature of Abrogation, the sparks often vie against each other. This increases the likelihood for failure in an initiation. Although not a certain failure, it has been noted that Abrogators often have more trouble learning other magics and mages that choose to learn Abrogation last find immense difficulty in the initiation itself.

-The basic scope of Abrogation is to use ether to "secure" the nature of what is around you, and keep it undisturbed. Preemption is expending ones own ether into the area around you to enforce the reality of Idalos. This field passively dampens any and all magic that passes through it, including any additional magic that the Abrogator casts. This ability has sometimes been likened to a [[Transmutation | Transmuter's]] ability to Drought ether in an area, but whereas a Transmuter makes it impossible for Domain ether to materialize in an area, an Abrogator simply makes it much more difficult. By reaching out and feeling the area, releasing their own ether, an Abrogator visualizes the area as capable only of holding specific energy, their energy, and fills the immediate location with said energy, reorienting the ‘magical’ environment. This reversal is often referred to as 'Flipping'.

 However, this Flipping often takes some time to complete and is rarely the kind of magic that a mage will employ when in an unexpected battle. As an Abrogator progresses, speed and specificity will become more available for them with this field but novices only employ this magic when they have time to prepare the battlefield. Mages with stronger power in their discipline will find way to overpower these fields with their own magic, but no magic that passes through a Flipped field emerges at full power. Maintaining a Flipped field takes a great deal of concentration and high meditation skill on the part of the mage, although this requirement is only if they want to make use of other casting while creating this field.

-Abrogation: The very term meaning "to abolish". It is an odd discipline of [[magic]] that touches on all others, yet fundamentally rejects, or reverses, every one. It is entirely defensive in nature. With only a few odd possibilities, at very high levels, to effect indirectly aggressive results. It is essentially the protection against damage and force, especially of magic. It is one that stands as protection against all other types. To Abolish or Repel is the focus of this magic, protecting others from its effects by denying its sovereignty.
