I don't think that even high elves have magical walls on there cities much less Nords. I mean yah I know it's said Shalidor built the city with a whispered spell but I'm pretty sure that is just hyperbole. Also wouldn't a wall of magic require a nonstop input of magic by many mages (for example the shield around Morokei). Magics only temporary and wouldn't last long, see how long you can maintain your ward before being eaten by a dragon, or shouted by one those annoying Deathlords. TheGreenSabre, AzuraKnight, and PsijicThief, my 3 favorite people in the forums for posts like this :D ... I don't understand what you mean.

And @ TheGreenSabre, Nightcaller Temple, Erundr was able to create a wall that lasted multiple magic walls, both before and after leaving the order(though the first one[in the dreamstride] was created with a soul gem) so a lasting magical barrier is not out of the question.

And they may have also been conjured to look like regular stone walls, so that may be why they looked like that in Arena.

Your move.
