Mara has access to the Guardian attunement which gives her access to enhancement and life mana. She can combine them together to form protection mana. Mara's attunement is located on her chest, making her heart marked, which works through channelling mana through her entire body into her heart and then out both hands simultaneously. This requires intense focus and slows the casting of the spell, but increases its intensity. The Guardian attunement allows for easy manipulation of the attuned's shroud, a magical aura that slows down or stops attacks. As a Guardian, Mara's shroud is more solid than most other attuned's shrouds and she can move her shroud around various parts of her body to enforce specific areas better.
