- ALWAYS ON
MAGE ARMOR is a defense talent in the ARCHON tree, the one INTELLIGENCE pays for: wards off part of every blow.
It is ALWAYS ON. There is nothing to press, nothing to aim, no mana and no cooldown — once the point is spent it is part of the hero, on every map, for the rest of that hero's life.
Every rank costs one INTELLIGENCE talent point, and a point is 10 points of INTELLIGENCE the player chose to spend. So carrying it at 5 means 50 chosen points of INTELLIGENCE that bought nothing else in the tree.
A magic ward softens every blow you take.

- A SPENT POINT IS PERMANENTa respec can move the stat points that earned it, but never below 10 × the ranks already spent in that tree — the talent is kept, and the INTELLIGENCE holding it up is locked in place.
The rest of the ARCHON tree
Every one of these is bought out of the same INTELLIGENCE points, so a rank here is a rank not spent on any of them.
