I was actually thinking about another form of exercise. I pmed Elite and I suggested that they would be each other's mental punching bags/mental sparring partners where they occasionally outside of class mentally attack eachother to reinforce their wards and in turn find other ways to get into people's heads.

That's mostly what the basics are like; a constant assault on someone's mind until their Wards are conditioned to handle the stress. Kind of like bones, damage them and let them heal and they'll get a bit stronger next time. Just be careful not to shatter it entirely; Wards can break, and like bones, stay broken if the force is strong enough.
