A Curious Ability
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 93873

Meanwhile, Walter opened the trap door, and he and Bartholomew went down,
sealing it behind them. There was not much down in the basement of the
house. A work bench, some dry storage. And, a white chair. A very
white chair, inscribed with writing that wriggled before the eyes. It is in
this chair that Bartholomew sat, and a sound beyond hearing, that caused
dogs several streets away to start howling, began. You see, Bartholomew was a Nullifier, or N-Mage. They are extremely rare individuals born with what you could refer to as 'anti-magic'. It is hard to explain, but it is like magic, but polarized opposite. It is the inverse of the magic that the normal wizard or sorcerer uses. A Nullifier has an anti-magic aura that nullifes magic in his or her vicinity. It does not, however, prevent them from casting their own spells using their strange magic. Trained nullifiers can make conscious 'exceptions' to their aura, which is what Bartholomew does with Walter. Extremely trained Nullifiers can enhance the spells of other mages, combining their anti-magic with magic to produce wondrous (but very dangerous) spells indeed. Walter has a checkered past that we will not explore yet, but his friendship with Bartholomew extends for decades. Walter helped Bartholomew train and enhance his abilities, and learn to control them. Walter developed the Chair, which enhances and extends (slowly) Bartholomew's aura. He only needs to sit in it a short while each day, and though it is very painful, his aura now extends two miles beyond Redstone in every direction. Bartholomew groaned in agony, as Walter patted his head with a damp cloth. The Chair was hurting him, but this was essential to the plan. It was necessary to get his aura at maximum so that they could plan from Redstone, made a safe haven from Reaibn's magic.
