Subject: Mana-Infused Armor

At the next Duskruin run (in February,) a new armor script will debut, titled Mana-Infused Armor. Characters are able to infuse up to 150 mana into it, subject to their Mana Control (requires 100% skill for 100% of the mana to be infused). Only the character who infused it can make use of its benefits. If a new character infuses it, all the previously stored mana is lost. The armor must be held when infused or can be worn if you're on a natural earthnode.

>infuse leather with 50
You concentrate and channel your mana into your double leather. Tendrils of grey-green energy pulse outward from its core with the power of your infusion. You sense it has a total of 150 mana. >infuse leather with 50
You concentrate and channel your mana into your double leather. Coruscating grey-green sparks well up from its surface in a spectacular display. You sense it has a total of 150 mana.

... 72 points of damage!

Note: The color of the light defaults to your eye color, but can be customized by any willing merchant.

Tier 2: Mana Shield: 25% chance to activate when receiving damage. Grants 2d20 damage padding for that instance of damage received. For every point of damage absorbed by the shield, 1 point of mana is lost from the armor.

Note: The descriptors for the energy are determined by the wearer's highest lore category (elemental = crackling tendrils of elemental, spiritual = nebulous tendrils of spiritual, sorcerous = wraithlike tendrils of sorcerous, and mental = translucent tendrils of psychic), but can be customized by any willing merchant.

A tall, regal oak stands watch here over a bend in the path where the beaten trail skirts around several large boulders. A circle of stones surrounds a small firepit near a low outcropping of rocks. Apparently some weary traveler paused here for a moment of rest. You also see an Ithzir adept, a gremlock, an Ithzir herald, an Ithzir janissary and an Ithzir seer. Obvious paths: east, southwest

Tier 0 will be sold off the shelf as 4x armor in every type. Tiers 1-5 will be unlock certificates, with scaling costs and limited stock, similar to Sigil Staves. The T5 unlock certificate will not be sold off the shelf and instead will be randomly spun for at a predetermined date and time for those that have the available bloodscrip.
