=== Line of Warding ===
The strength of a Line of Warding is determined by its evenness and its curvature. The steeper the curve, the stronger the line. This is a moot point in circles as their curvature is equal around its entirety. In ellipses however the strength is variable; peaking at its bindpoints and reaching its lowest point on the sides.{{ref|name=linestrengths}}
A larger Line of Warding is weaker, however, it takes more strength for chalklings/Lines of Vigor/Lines of Revocation to destroy 1/6 of a large circle than 1/6 of a smaller one; the strength of all circles is not the same. A typical line of warding can take about 6 hits from a line of vigor
=== Line of Forbiddance ===
A "Mark's Cross" is a set of perpendicular Lines of Forbiddance in a four-point circle. It can be attached to a bindpoint of a larger circle for support.{{ref|name=sumsion}}
A Line of vigor bounces off of a Line of Forbiddance. However, a Line of Forbiddance can only take about 10 Line of Vigor hits before it is destroyed
The material that a line of Forbiddance is drawn on can affect its stability (e.g., more durable surfaces form stronger lines) (pg. 257).
