A/N: I'm glad people are responding postivly to this.

Thank you to Boom-De-Ada-Boom-De-Ada and FallenPrayers for reviewing. It's really helping my confidence. And Fenix Gryffindor/Amy i too had to use a translator, as the only word i understood was pronto. Languages were never my strong point :D

Guarding Important Magical Items

---

When your plan, which you have been planning for a long time, goes off with out a hitch, make sure you display the most important magical component in a lightly guarded room. Knights are stupid and proud, so will most likely decide to confront you head on. Another advantage of low security is that no one will expect you're most critical piece to have only a handful of guards. The idea is so fool proof that not even the most idiotic, mentally deficient, lucky ex-farming, servant boys could mess it up. It is basically fool proof.

Here are some examples.

When using a powerful magic chalice to create an immortal army, display it proudly in the throne room. Not only is this a sign of your power and control, the room is already naturally guarded so no one can break in, empty the cup and in one fell swoop destroy your whole army. It's even better seeing as the guards are highly trained and immortal.

Alternatively, when using the head of an ancient dark creature that regenerates when beheaded to control the utterly loyal manservant and friend of a royal and order him to assassinate said royal, just place the creature into a jar and put it on a shelf of the hovel you are using as a hideout. Security is unneeded. No one, not even your most feared enemy, will ever suspect that you, with all your power and nobility, have the humility to take up residence in a run down shack. This way, no one will come to destroy the creature and free the servant.

As you can see, there is no harm is showing off important magical items and guarding them with little security is ok and a stable in being a good sorceress.

A/N: It was really hard not to have a go at Camelot's general security. I wonder if it's a Pendragon thing to have really bad guards.
