Planetary Techniques

The Nebulous Ward

I read somewhere that stars are born when a large enough nebulous is irritated by, say, a passing comet. The movement makes the dust swirl together and gradually get your own fission-factory.

This should work best in places you frequent-- where your aura smears the air to a critical mass. This energy infused with that of drawing down the sun might help with programming, since that's what this energy is meant to turn into. If something comes in, or you sense something coming in, you can pull the energy of the house into a swirl around you... faster, faster, until it combusts and shines.

The result should be a "warp" around where you are... anything approaching will be burned up or forced into orbit. It has a lifespan of sorts, so perhaps best activated in immediate danger. And, while this ward is inspired by celestial movements, it's psychic energy that ought to work how you want-- hollowed out so you're not suffering through a solar buzz, or able to discern unfriendly and friendly energies and entities.

I see mine more like a sphere or dome, but if a ring is enough to fuel the warping effect then that ought to do...

For personal shielding, I adapted one of my favorite protective elemental chants for planets:

Evil that has come to me
Turn back from thy course
By Neptune, by Sol, so mote it be
Go back to thy source

Neptune and the Sun my favorites (even though their elements are supposed to conflict,) but feel free to change them for preference or meter.
