Flame Ward Medallion

In Peter V. Brett's The Demon Cycle, the origins of the magical Ward symbols have been lost to history, but their power was rediscovered after the demon corelings returned to plague the surface of the world. The Ward symbols themselves have no power, but when they are infused with core magic siphoned from a demon, the ward will repurpose that magic to repel the creature. Most Ward symbols are defensive in nature, but a handful can achieve other magical effects including offensive Wards which can actually harm Demons. The Flame Ward is a defensive symbol used to protect the wearer against Flame Demons. Flame demons are the fastest of the corelings, have glowing mouths and eyes, and spit liquid demonfire. Demonfire will burn almost anything, including other demon corelings. Details: The Flame Ward medallion is solid sterling silver and measures 25.6 mm long, 24.9 mm at the widest point, and 2 mm thick. The ward pendant weighs approximately 4.9 grams. The back of the pendant is textured
