Energy Shields were introduced at Duskruin Arena in Jan 2021 in the shop Currents and Safeguards by GameMaster Retser. These shields can be enchanted and ensorcelled.

Tier 0

This is the off-the-shelf offering. At this tier, Energy Shields have the default Reactive Energy Flare upon blocking and Energy flares when striking with the shield.

Analyze

You analyze the ora shield and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
                           ENERGY SHIELDS
  Energy Flares:  Turn them on to let your Shield Flare.
  Surged Flares:  These drain mana and stored energy to increase flare strength.  You cannot
                  store mana during surged flares.
  Drained Flares: These reduce the strength of your flare to bond and store energy.


 Verb
  PROD     ON/OFF Energy Flares
   Currently: ON
  PULL     ON/OFF Drained Flares (Store Energy)
   Currently: OFF
  PUSH     ON/OFF Surged Flares (Increases flare strength at the cost of energy)

Tier 2

Energy Flare, Energy Reverb, and Energy Barrier are unlocked at this tier.

Tier 3

Energy Flare, Energy Reverb, Energy Barrier, and Energy Wave are unlocked at this tier.

Additional Information

Energy Flare

Upon blocking an attack 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.
