A Ward is primarily a portal lock or filter, allowing only those who posses the right of passage (An Amulet forged by the creator of the particular Ward), through that Portal. The center part of a Portal contains a small orange ball or gem which is activated through a combination of the Avatar's touch, and the focusing of the Dreamer's Will upon it. When a Ward is placed over a Portal, this 'activation ball' is covered by the gem you see within the center of the Ward.. The six tendrils you see spreading out from the central gem are what hold the 'lock' in place, by leeching onto the Portal itself. Much in the same way that colours can be added to a codex, so also is the red given to the central gem and respectively to an Amulet. This colouring comes from lucidity, though not enough to warrant any drainage of Elemental Force, instead being drawn from the Willpower as each Element is closely connected.
This Lucidity is what makes the normally solid central gem ethereal when an Amulet is put to it. The Amulet passes through the central gem and to the activator behind it on the Portal, allowing the Dreamer to physically connect with it and then use their Will to pass through, as are the requirements of passage. The drawback of using this Lucidity, is that the Art of Ward is classed aggressively, therefore not allowing it to be evoked within Sanctuary. You will notice when using Ward that the evocation cylinder is both light and dark gold. This is due to the variations in concentration of the twenty points of Willpower required to evoke this Art. These concentrations are used to force strength into the Ward so that it cannot be destroyed by any form of physical damage attack. The unfortunate consequence of this (arguably crude) form of strengthening, is that Ward is not in tune with all forms of Portal.. an example being Inter-Planer Portals, which cannot be Warded.

Notes
Each amulet carries charges on it. These amulets can be recharged and disappear when the last charge is used.
