'''Voln armor''' is a type of [[armor]] [[script]] that provides mechanical benefits for members of the [[Order of Voln]]. Non-members will only benefit from the fluff [[verb]] traps and players converted to [[Luukos]] cannot wear the armor at all. There are four tiers with cumulative benefits. The armor can be [[enchant]]ed, [[padded]], and [[flare]]d normally with the difficulty/cost increasing per tier. The purifying weaves on the armor make [[sanctify]] easier (+50 bonus) but [[ensorcell]] more difficult (-100 penalty).

Voln armor is a type of armor script that provides mechanical benefits for members of the Order of Voln. Non-members will only benefit from the fluff verb traps and players converted to Luukos cannot wear the armor at all. There are four tiers with cumulative benefits. The armor can be enchanted, padded, and flared normally with the difficulty/cost increasing per tier. The purifying weaves on the armor make sanctify easier (+50 bonus) but ensorcell more difficult (-100 penalty). As of the 2022 Ebon Gate, the armor and unlock certificates are sold off the shelf at the shop Armaments of the Destroyer.

Tier 1

The base armor provides a DS flare (equal to enchant) with a chance to activate: 15% Base, +5% Voln masters, +5% Voln converts. Changing the armor into Zelnorn will half the bonus (+50 Voln armor would become +25 for the purposes of the flares). The armor also applies the same bonus to UDF resolutions, although uncertain if it is indeed intended to. The flare does not currently activate on CS and SMR attacks.

Analyze

This armor has been designed to provide mechanical benefit to members of the Order of Voln.  Some FLUFF verb traps are available to non-members, but unique abilities are bestowed ONLY on members.  Due to its nature, the steel-riveted coat-of-plates will repel anyone converted to Luukos who attempts to touch it, as well as preventing usage to anyone wearing or holding Shadow Death, Black Ora Jewelry, or Rapture Cloak items.  The armor can be altered, but any descriptions (including shows) cannot indicate something evil, demonic, or otherwise unbefitting to someone who releases the undead souls for Voln.

The steel-riveted coat-of-plates is currently TIER 1 (Off-the-Shelf) and has the following options available:

*** NON-VOLN, and VOLN MEMBERS ***
Fluff:  BOW, TAP, STARE, and CLUTCH

*** VOLN-MEMBERS ONLY ***
* DS flares against undead foes.  Base chance to flare of 15%, +5% for Voln Masters, +5% for Voln converts.  Amount of DS applied equal to armor enchant, min. of +10, max. of +50.

Usage

Verb First Third
BOW You forcefully cross one arm over your <ARMOR>, and offer a formal bow. <Person> forcefully crosses one arm over his <ARMOR>, and offers a formal bow.
BOW (targeted) You forcefully cross one arm over your <ARMOR>, and offer <TARGET> a formal bow. <Target> forcefully crosses one arm over his <ARMOR>, and offers a formal bow.
TAP You lift your chin slightly and, in a display of solidarity, tap your fist against your <ARMOR> twice in quick succession. <Person> lifts his chin slightly and, in a display of solidarity, taps his fist against his <ARMOR> twice in quick succession.
TAP (targeted) You lift your chin slightly toward <TARGET> and, in a display of solidarity, tap your fist against your <ARMOR> twice in quick succession. <Person> lifts his chin slightly toward you and, in a display of solidarity, taps his fist against his <ARMOR> twice in quick succession.
STARE You bow your head and stare grimly at your <ARMOR>, lost deep within your own thoughts. <Person> bows his head and stares grimly at his <ARMOR>, obviously lost deep within his own thoughts.
CLUTCH You stare outward, your expression black and tinged with melancholy, as you clutch the <ARMOR> at your breast. <Person> stares outward, his expression black and tinged with melancholy, as he clutches the <ARMOR> at his breast.

Tier 2

At the second tier, the armor adds an automatic Symbol of Need upon death, plus +3 sheer fear effective levels against undead.

Usage

Verb First Third
KNEEL In an extreme display of respect, you fall to one knee and bow your head in reverence. In an extreme display of respect, <Person> falls to one knee and bows his head in reverence.
KNEEL (targeted) In an extreme display of respect, you fall to one knee and bow your head in reverence of <TARGET>. In an extreme display of respect, <Person> falls to one knee and bow his head in reverence of you.

Tier 3

The third tier provides phantom critical padding, and the ability to locate nearby undead.

Usage

Verb First Third
PUSH Every bone in your body seems to ache as you shift your stance, ever stoic. Lifting a wearied hand, you press your palm down over your heart, and silently turn your thoughts toward your devotion to Voln's path. In response, a hazy white glow rises from your <ARMOR> and spreads, bathing you in a rejuvenating light that leaves you stronger and steadier in its wake. <Person> shifts his stance with stoic slowness as he brings a hand to his heart and presses it palm-down to the surface of his <armor>. A look of resolve takes over his features as he closes his eyes and bows his head. In response, a soft wash of white radiance suffuses his <armor> and floods outward from him, momentarily enveloping him. As the light dims and dissipates, it leaves <Person> looking stronger and steadier in its wake.
EXHALE You tense slightly as the spiritual force of your polished steel platemail swells, its powerful current manifesting as a flash of brilliant light. As you exhale, the light coalesces around you, bathing you in white-hot radiance. <Person> tenses slightly as ? flash of brilliant light rolls across the surface of his polished steel platemail with an almost imperceptible speed. As he exhales, the light coalesces around him, bathing him in white-hot radiance.

Tier 4

The final tier provides an additional +3 sheer fear, plus 2x/day Symbol of Return usable while stunned/immobilized/webbed.

Analyze

You analyze your <ARMOR> and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
