Algis

"He yelled, and light gathered onto his left forearm. It shimmered and took the form of a transparent shield of glass. At roughly a meter in diameter, the defensive spell stood strong with the Algiz rune engraved on the center."

- Leidolf in the Prologue of Volume I.

Algis is a defensive runic spell that uses the Algiz rune to create a shield of magical energy, often described as a shimmering, glass-like structure. It can be detached or maintained at a distance.
