I hear adepts say you need to do these shieldings & banishings daily or you will run into problems. But if our minds are powerful enough to create/destroy these shields that can block attacks, can’t we just directly will these attacks to go away? Or even better, just ignore the attacks and not care at all? There are powerful masters of the mind out there that do nothing but meditate, and yet I highly doubt amateur magicians would be able to do anything to them. On the other hand, if your mind is too weak, it doesn’t matter how many shields, wards, and spirits you use, a master would just will them to disappear and attack you directly.

It depends. This is like asking “do I need a door on my house?”
If you live in a super safe area with beautiful weather all the time, maybe not.
If you live in an areas with bugs, burglars and/or bad weather, life is easier if you have a door you can shut.
Yes, but isn’t is more convenient to not have to be distracted by this? Most people do not live in a safe (astral) area and wards are a way to set up automatic shut-out of unwanted energies.
Also, no shade on astral entities sometimes you just want screen to the bugs don’t fly in. It’s not even about protection as much as keeping your house clean and uninfluenced by random astral wildlife.
Yes if you’re strong enough. Most people are not, but again it depends. Likewise the best wards will not stop a stronger attacker, especially a human. Wards and shields are most effective against the opportunists, the wildlife, ghosts and entities were it’s not personal.
Correct, but this is not what wards and shields are for. If you are up against an adept you’re into “witch war” territory, not just keeping yourself spiritually hygienic.
Maybe, maybe not. Again, do not confuse use cases - there are more beings out there than just humans. You will ALWAYS win against a being that doesn’t have a body. It’s the human body that acts like an onboard nuclear power station and even the least adept can wield more ability with than than any energy entity. Physical trumps astral every time.
Even against another human, you have the high ground when it’s on your territory, and it’s more about will and confidence, which affects your ability to control energy. You must believe in yourself. The kind of human that has the power to override wouldn’t attack you, and those that attack are pretty shitty mages in the first place to even try it. They’re shitty because this is childish and egotistical, they are not developer, so the one cancelled the other. The powerful non-shitty mage that randomly attacks others is incredibly rare.
Another piece to consider is the type of ward. This is not like physical combat, it’s more like a game of wits. To “hit” you the enemy mage first has to find you. The best wards are the ones he can’t see, doesn’t know are there, and there’s nothing that can be done about them if he doesn’t know to circumvent them.

Do you know how to create those types of ward? If I just give the ward an intent to be invisible and undetectable
We have a few ward tutorials on here: use the search feature with the keywords “Ward” and “tutorial”.
Some are here:
