Hoggleton Estate Barrier

The whole of Hoggleton’s estate was protected by a powerful magic barrier. Magic could not be used inside the house. That was the repulsive sensation I’d felt earlier, like my innards were being sloshed around. Normally, a mage’s mansion would not have such a barrier. Of course. To a mage, not using magic, doing odd jobs and everything else by hand, was an embarrassment. But Hoggleton prioritized his sense of safety over his pride as a mage or his convenience. Since he made a living doing dirty work, he would have a lot of mage enemies, and he ranked the safety of being able to protect himself from magic higher in priority than inconvenience or eeriness.

Not only mages but also familiars, golems, all types of magic items, and even the service daemon Hoggleton used could not make use of any special magic in this house. The daemon could only use its innate physical strength to tear things apart with its claws, but that was enough, as long as it was merely his bodyguard.
