He knew about the wards - having to pass through both of them, someone had gone to a lot of trouble to make sure the area was sealed off.. being marched in by the trolls through the first ward covering the outer - then the cells - all warded too.
They had avoided the drunk-tank and the petty criminal wing - turning instead to a much classier joint..
Dom had paid out a lot for this - Freddy hoped to dissapoint him ! Next time hire the best, me he thought. as he was stuffed into the cell.
Those wardings would pose a problem - there was no sign of the end of the wardings so they had to be sub-floor to over ceiling, the entrance to this small wing has a barrier up, just a quick glimpse had told him that it was very strong - hardly anything with a magical nature would get through. The end of the barrier had to be behind the security booth
His first thought had been to go up the plumbing as an eel, but the ward would prevent the active magic of the transformation spell from passing through
look to the limitations
FAB coated cells and a ward around the block.. there were other wards too in the place, but even the mages that Dom could hire would run out of disposable power eventually, there were limits on everything.
a dozen mages could create a ward to cover a wing of this place then fix it permanently with power. Each team of a dozen would be hansomly recompensed, for covering a dozen secured rooms. However there tended not to be that many freelancers or teams of wage-mages around who were willing to blow power more than was neccessary.
each floor of the Siren was probably protected by four wards - six floors - with two floors having very high priority, this lower level and the exec suites higher up.
Inside each ward you could cast spells - so each ward could be patrolled by a spirit as well - to stop casting. there should be a spirit patrolling the cell area - outside of the FAB lined cells.. too much - no mage team could support that kind of power expenditure - money was one thing that you could throw around, power was another. Every year they would have to replace 24 elemental spirits - Not even four teams of a dozen mages would do that, year on year.
So there had to be big gaps, and that was what Freddy was probing for.
