With the first village finished, Wolfe moved on to the next point that was marked on the map, and realized that the villages here were very close together. They weren't even a kilometre apart, and if he increased the power output of the spells just a little, he could create an entire wall of impassible magic. Nothing with hostile intentions would be able to pass along the border, with a node at every village keeping up the spell.
He had to give them all a [Mana Gathering Array], which he had hoped to keep somewhat secret in case the Witches got close, but the villagers would do their best to destroy everything and give themselves time to get away down the escape tunnels if they were invaded. That would give the Witches much better things to do than go looking for the source of his spell.
