'''Energy Shields''' are scripted shields themed similar to their counterpart, the [[Energy Weapon]]. They require [[#Affinity|affinity]] to be used to the greatest benefit.

Energy Shields were first introduced at [[Duskruin]]'s January 2021 run in the [[BVShop:Currents and Safeguards|Currents and Safeguards]] shop. They were created by by [[User:GS4-RETSER|GM Retser]]. These shields can be [[Enchant (925)|enchanted]], [[Ensorcell (735)|ensorcelled]], and [[Sanctify (330)|sanctified]].

===Affinity===
Every time the weapon handles its script flare the bond increases. The strength of the flares increase with the affinity of the weapon, and maximum affinity is limited by unlock tier. Abilities unlocked at each tier will not be available until the required affinity is gained, and will show as Locked even after the certificate is used. To unlock the ability, gain the required Bound Energy for the affinity tier.

===Energy Flares===
Upon blocking an attack in an aggressive stance, or launching an offensive shield attack you have a chance to strike your enemy with energy. These are the default flares of the energy shields.

Each flare will fill the affinity for the process of attuning. The strength of the flare increases per affinity gained.

;Energy Storage
{{boldmono|[[PULL]]}} (DRAINED FLARES) will allow you to turn ON or OFF the storage of Energy at the cost of reduced flared strength. This energy is used to empower flares later.

{{boldmono|[[PUSH]]}} (SURGED FLARES) turns on or off the surged flares. Surged flares are increased in power at the cost of energy stored from DRAINED flares.

You cannot have both drained and surged flares on at the same time.

Example combat with the standard Energy Flares on shield attack or incoming attack:
<pre{{log2}}>
An Ithzir adept swings a closed fist at you!
The vultite greatshield glows dimly as it unleashes a weakened blast of energy!
'''A pulse of white-colored energy spirals outward from your vultite greatshield and collides with an Ithzir adept's back!'''

... 20 points of damage!
Flesh ripped from back, muscles exposed.
With no room to spare, you block the attack with your vultite greatshield!

>shield bash adept
You lunge forward at an Ithzir adept with your vultite greatshield and attempt a shield bash!
[SMR result: 229 (Open d100: 70, Bonus: 45)]

You analyze the lightning bolt charm and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

Your charm is used to unlock the potential of things held in your other hand or on your person.

A lightning bolt charm grants the Energy Shield script at Tier 1/OTS to an unscripted shield.

You need only RAISE your charm while holding a compatible item in your other hand or on your person.

Your charm may not be altered or changed in any way.


You get no sense of whether or not the charm may be further lightened.

Energy Shields are scripted shields themed similar to their counterpart, the Energy Weapon. They require affinity to be used to the greatest benefit.

Energy Shields were first introduced at Duskruin's January 2021 run in the Currents and Safeguards shop. They were created by by GM Retser. These shields can be enchanted, ensorcelled, and sanctified.

Tier 0/OTS

This is the off-the-shelf offering. At this tier, Energy Shields have the default Energy Flares ability,.

Upon blocking an attack in an aggressive stance, or launching an offensive shield attack you have a chance to strike your enemy with energy. These are the default flares of the energy shields.

Each flare will fill the affinity for the process of attuning. The strength of the flare increases per affinity gained.

Additional Information

Affinity

Every time the weapon handles its script flare the bond increases. The strength of the flares increase with the affinity of the weapon, and maximum affinity is limited by unlock tier. Abilities unlocked at each tier will not be available until the required affinity is gained, and will show as Locked even after the certificate is used. To unlock the ability, gain the required Bound Energy for the affinity tier.

Energy Flares

Upon blocking an attack in an aggressive stance, or launching an offensive shield attack you have a chance to strike your enemy with energy. These are the default flares of the energy shields.

Each flare will fill the affinity for the process of attuning. The strength of the flare increases per affinity gained.

Energy Storage

PULL (DRAINED FLARES) will allow you to turn ON or OFF the storage of Energy at the cost of reduced flared strength. This energy is used to empower flares later.

PUSH (SURGED FLARES) turns on or off the surged flares. Surged flares are increased in power at the cost of energy stored from DRAINED flares.

You cannot have both drained and surged flares on at the same time.
