[[File: Line of Forbiddance.svg|thumb|250px]]
A Lines of Forbiddance areis a defensive line that projects an impenetrable plane perpendicular to the surface it is drawn on. Not even the Rithmatist who drew it is able to cross it.{{ref|name=linesofforbiddance}} The strength of a Line of Forbiddance is determined by its straightness; the straighter the line is, the stronger it is. The line's thickness determines the height of the invisible plane it produces above it.{{ref|name=linestrengths}} A well-drawn Line of Forbiddance can stop bullets and, in some cases, cannonballs.{{book ref|Rithmatist|15}}

It takes about four seconds for a Rithmatist to dismiss a Line of Forbiddance.{{ref|name=linesofforbiddance}}
 
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}}
