Voln armor

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.

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.
