Instead, a blue magic barrier appeared out of thin air like an electric net. The explosive beams fired by the Mage Sniper Company overhead burst against it like bubbles and vanished in an instant, as though they had never existed.

The incomplete prototype was more portable and could be used on the move, but the technology was still immature. Each time it activated, the void barrier it formed covered a much smaller area than a stationary Anti-Magic Device.
