'''Create Anchor (Object Reference):''' We now want to create a "Future Anchor". This is an XMarker object reference that we will be placing in a far-off, unused cell. You can create your own blank cell, but '''AAADeleteWhenDoneTestJeremy''' is also a good candidate. Wherever you decide to place it, drag an XMarker Static from the Object Window of the Creation Kit into the Render Window and name the reference. We'll name ours '''GuardPlacementFutureAnchor'''. We'll use this to <code>PlaceAtMe()</code> Futures on this object later on.

The PlaceConjuredGuardAsync() function handles making sure that our work gets delegated to an available thread. The function then returns a <code>Future</code> once an available thread is found. Nearly as soon as a thread's <code>get_async()</code> function is called, it begins working, while our calling MagicEffect script is free to do other things in the mean time.
