Same shit as >!13 Ghosts, where there's some vague runic magic going on that creates barriers!<

It's a plot device you see from time to time but it's not at all anything we haven't seen before.

The big, common example is >!the powder circle in witchcraft circles that provides protection and should never be broken!<

If you're into Horror, you can probably name an example of that being done in a TV show within this last week. Spoiler: >!First episode of Cabinet of Curiosities!<

I just imagine it's part of the design pattern that keeps them out. One of those things that never gets explained in depth because it wouldn't be a satisfying explanation if you got it.
