	== Making It Pretty ==

	As a very welcome Christmas present, on 25 December 2005 [[GameMaster\|GM]] Mestys announced that customized Sonic Armors were possible. All such alterations must follow the standard [[alteration]] limits, including the [[15/15/15]] rule; a "long" or "show" description is permitted.
	*Such alterations are available for [[Sonic Blade Song (1012)]] as well as for [[Sonic Armor (1014)]] and [[Sonic Shield Song (1009)]].
