Depends on what the High Priest is protecting the Pillar from, I guess.

The Pillar doesn't need physical protection from anything in Cephiro (Corwin saves; all others take full damage) and things from outside Cephiro, at the time the Trinity system was designed, were probably pretty rare.

That implies that we're talking protection from weird metaphysical threats, which fits the role of a Priest. Things like demons trying to punch out your soul or catching dream cancer or stuff like that.

Corwin could probably automate that just by applying the Aesir equivalent of a coat of sealant, or something.

What I do (and I may be totally off-base here) is that I usually think of Cephiro as being a fundamentally broken place, requiring rather heroic intervention just to keep it intact and suitable for habitation. So when Corwin talks about the nifty little things he's doing to upgrade it, I envision it becoming more like Midgard, which spins happily on its way and spawns all kinds of life without requiring divine or demonic intervention of any sort.
