Mythal

In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game in the world of Faerun, a "mythal" is a powerful epic level magical effect, created by a circle of High Mages to protect and ward a large area with numerous powerful enchantments. Mythal magic was originally created by the Elves of Cormanthor. A typical Mythal prevents certain schools of magic from being employed while empowering others. It may restrict access to the warded area to certain classes of beings. For example, Silverymoon's mythal excludes evil dragons. Creation of a mythal sometimes requires the willing sacrifice of the lead caster's life, a result that lead to the first Mythal's being named after its creator. In addition, many Mythal spells corrode over time, and if not maintained can become corrupted. This has occurred in Myth Drannor and resulted in the current state of that city.
