| abstract | - A one-dot Air manse that was made personally by Adamant Fern to explore her manse-creation powers. It produces a Stone of Quick Thought, an red and silver banded oval that allows the bearer to think faster and more clearly than usual, a +1 Wits bonus. The Reflex Field is about as secluded and hidden as a manse could get, placed in the middle of the frozen wastelands of the North and not particularly near any settlements. Rather than a structure, it takes the form of a network of cubical stones laid out in a complex pattern across the demesne. These stones lift up into the air and move as if to strike anyone in range, testing the reflexes and wits of anyone inhabiting it, most notably the hearthstone bearer. They do not strike the hearthstone bearer with enough force to cause pain, but just enough to confirm a hit. Thus, this would be an excellent place to train Wits, Dexterity, Dodge, or any of a number of abilities. Rocks regenerate every twenty four hours, so they can even be used as target practice. If a being hostile to the hearthstone bearer enters the field, the manse will apply lethal force in the form of hundreds of head-sized boulders flying at the target. This would likely be fatal to even an unprepared Exalt, but if a being were to survive they would certainly be ejected from the manse from the force of the strikes, at the very least. The Reflex Field requires no maintenance and it is highly unlikely that anyone would disturb the place.
