Ward
A ward is a type of skill affecting an area on the ground that stops enemies from passing through while allowing allies to move freely. There are two shapes of wards: a line that forces enemies to move around it and a circle which keeps enemies outside, or inside of it.
Enemies who come in contact with the ward will be knocked back. However, it is possible to pass the warded area of effect by using stability, invulnerability or even by jumping over the area (the latter only works with the line-shaped wards). They cannot, however be crossed by dodging. It is also possible to leave or enter a ring-shaped ward by using teleportation skills, but the player doing so will be interrupted in the process.
