The Abyssal Soul Fortress was a defensive technique built within the practitioner's sea of consciousness.
Its outer walls reinforced the mind's existing barrier. A separate formation at its centre extended protection to the soul, helping resist spiritual attacks, possession, and attempts to interfere with the connection between body and soul.
Simon turned the page.
A diagram showed a square fortress suspended above a sea. Four towers occupied its corners, connected by thick walls. Within them stood a smaller, enclosed tower, separated from the outer defences by a deep trench.
The structure looked simple.
The inscriptions covering the following pages suggested otherwise.
Simon began reading more carefully.
When an attack struck the mental barrier, the fortress would help bear its force. Rather than letting the entire impact hammer one point, the connected walls and towers spread part of it across the formation.
