Anti MCIT
Anti-MCIT —short for Anti-Magical Containment and Interference Technology—is a groundbreaking magical innovation designed to create stable anti-magic zones. These zones are completely devoid of ambient mana, making them essential for safely handling volatile or enchanted items. Whether you're transporting unstable artifacts, imprisoning magic-dependent individuals, or storing relics too dangerous to risk exposure, Anti-MCIT has become the gold standard in magical containment.
Its adaptability and dependability have led to extensive acceptance in the academic, military, and obscure research industries, with applications ranging from vault security to fieldwork containment. In a world teeming with magical energy, Anti-MCIT is how civilization keeps the chaos under control.

Utility
The core component of an Anti-M.C.I.T (Magical Containment and Interference Technology) unit is a square-shaped rod—roughly the size of a person’s wrist—fitted with a pure Lay Line Crystals the top and a central core. The enchantment matrix is engraved on the back and partially along two of the side faces. This layout forms a stable anti-magic field when activated. The bottom of the rod connects to a control circuit, and the top section is typically made of a material highly resistant to magic, in case of unexpected surges.
The unit works by generating a contained anti-magic zone. It does this through a magical force field along the edge of the enchantments, which begins absorbing all ambient mana from the enclosed space. The effectiveness and speed of mana depletion depend on several factors: the number of rods used, their size, and the volume of the containment area.
Once activated, the field draws in local mana and uses it to sustain the force field itself. This not only isolates the enclosed object from outside magical influences but also prevents atmospheric mana from entering the space. As a result, the interior becomes a true zero-mana zone, rendering most magical items inert.
However, some powerful artifacts—particularly those with large internal reserves or self-sustaining enchantments—may still activate under specific conditions. While not infallible, this system is effective against over 90% of the magical items and unstable relics encountered in the field.
Now, this technology is used to create a wide variety of containment devices for all type of specific artifacts and magical items. However, if the item in question is cursed or originates from a metaphysical realm, it's critical to have a cursebreaker examine it before attempting transport. Some of these objects are unaffected by anti-magic fields due to the nature of ancient curses—metaphysical magic often operates under entirely different rules and doesn't always conform to conventional containment methods.

Manufacturing
You must first design the structure of the rods and determine the desired size of the containment field. This will help you decide how many rods are needed and how large each one must be. It's crucial to use an accurate schematic—if the field is too large, it will take far too long to drain the mana from the area and may become unstable, failing to filter out lingering mana particles. The leyline crystals used must be pure and non-elemental to function correctly. The rods can be installed by enchanting them directly into any solid, unchanging structure; if the structure shifts or warps, the containment field will collapse.
Kendra Sharkweather, an explorer-scientist known for discovering rare magical things and powerful arcane devices, was the first to discover and build the Anti-MCIT (Magical Containment and Interference Technology) system. Kendra was frustrated by the necessity to transport heavy diagnostic equipment to each discovery site only to evaluate whether an item was safe or dangerous. She sought a better alternative. Many of the artifacts she discovered were unstable, and defensive spells like simple abjuration wards frequently failed to keep them from discharging or causing damage to their surroundings. As magical technology advanced, Kendra found that most artifacts received their power from ambient mana or contained internal cores that discharged magical energy. Market choices at the time provided containment for specific schools of magic, but each had its own set of constraints and factors. Transporting unknown or volatile substances was unpredictable and dangerous.
Determined to find a solution, Kendra began experimenting with techniques to dampen or interrupt magic rather than simply deflecting it. She believed that by directing the flow of mana around an object, she could stabilize it. After significant trial and error, some of which nearly cost her limbs, she was able to create a primitive anti-magic field. This resulted in the construction of the Magic Containment Table. Her initial prototype created an anti-magic sphere around a book-sized object using four specialized magic-absorbing rods. The field not only negated ambient magic, but it also prevented the object from absorbing additional energy. Though initially designed for her own use in the field, this confinement method quickly became the industry standard for transporting and preserving magical objects safely. Her discovery provided the groundwork for modern Anti-MCIT devices, which are now employed for anything from artifact retrieval operations to securing vaults in high-magic zones.
