The '''Guardian''' [[attunement]] is a [[:Category:Shroud Attunement|shroud-based attunement]] designed for close-quarters combat, with a focus on defense. Guardians are known for using their shroud offensively, as well as having much finer control over it than most other attunements. The guardian attunement grants the attuned access to [[enhancement mana]] and [[life mana]], along with their combination: [[protection mana]]<ref name=aa2-r>''On the Shoulders of Titans'' Recap - Attunements</ref>, although many guardians disregard life mana, choosing to focus nearly entirely on enhancement mana<ref name=aa3-7>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 7</ref>. It grants access to [[earth mana]]{{citation needed}} at Citrine, and potentially grants access to [[water mana]] at some point<ref name=aa1-13>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 13</ref>.

The guardian attunement is most commonly found in the [[Serpent Spire]] in [[Valia]]<ref name=aa2-r />.

== Attunement Features ==

''Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.''

=== Shroud Manipulation ===

Guardians gain access to their [[shroud]] immediately upon gaining their attunement, rather than at carnelian like most other attunements. Additionally, they are able to manipulate their shroud immediately upon gaining it, and with greater ease than other attuned<ref name=aa1-9>''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 9</ref>.

=== Additional Mana Type ===

Some experienced guardians have been seen using [[ice mana]], making it likely that the guardian has [[water mana]] as a additional mana type<ref name=aa1-13 />.
