I am not sure how many Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinder players are on here but I was working on the assumption that Emma’s heart protections functioned somewhat like the spell resistance mechanic in that game .
Spell resistance in the game works like this, you always have a level of protection against magic being used against you but you can choose to lower your protection to temporarily allow for helpful magic to be used on you. The disadvantage is that that the protection is very much either on or off so removing the barrier even for a moment leaves you vulnerable to dangerous magics. I was thinking that the plot could have gone with Emma’s lower’s her protections only for Hades or someone to swoop in and attack while the opening existed.
