I would assume that every shard still still has the automatic interception, it's just that they follow the "leader" shard as it moves instead of only floating where they're created.Wouldn't Nephy idea substantially decrease the spell effectiveness? Zagan's version automatically intercept all incoming magics, while Nephy's version must be individually controlled, and most of the scales cannot be actually controlled at all...
But you must stand still if you can't control them actively. The scales will just patrol the area. If you can control them, even as groups, you can walk around and make the scales follow you.Wouldn't Nephy idea substantially decrease the spell effectiveness?
