Aegis Shield

The Aegis Shield provides a powerful advantage to various units; its' versatility, reliability, inexpensiveness, and availability makes it a vital asset on the increasingly dangerous battlefield. The Aegis Shield is a device powered by a percentile amount of the user's self-generated energy[s] (e.g. mana, vitality, ethereal, arcane) into a shielding effect which may be accomplished through various methods (nullification, fortification, alteration, etc.)

Aegis Shields come in various capacities and qualities and may be customized towards specific forms of defense, or defense utilizing specific methods. The standard Aegis Shield is a small, light-weight device easily integrated into armor or attached to items such as belts or harnesses—the device is constructed of Reinforced Steel Arconem, allowing it to withstand significant direct attacks before faulting. Each unit receives power through a user-specific energy-tap which may be selected for one or more self-produced energies. This energy-tap directly reduces the overall reserve for all supplied energies with user-defined quantities. (Note that the capacity of the device's energy-tap will limit the total capacity of the shield.)

The standard Aegis Shielding device utilizes a medium-capacity mana-based energy tap set at (20%) of the user's total mana production measured through the use of a standard Multi-spectrum Energy Potentiometer. (Note that measurements used by the MSEP use a faired-average energy level when a large fluctuation in maximum/minimum quantities exists.) An active energy-tap is indicated on the device by the illumination of a centrally placed light crystal colored in accordance with the device's quality. The standard quality color-coding is as follows: White, Green, Blue, Gold, Red, and Violet (Note that the light-crystal provided for a specific device is interchangeable and not always an indicator of the device's quality or capacity.)

Standard Aegis processing utilizes multi-spectrum energy nullification which negates an amount of (kinetic, elemental, temporal, gravitational, etc.) energy equal to 20% of the user's supplied energy, or a quantitative force equal to 100 Newtons of kinetic energy (standard conversion) whichever occurs first. The force limit of each device is determined by the capacity of the device's power cores and script drive which is extended as the capacity and quality of each component is increased. Users may upgrade and/or exchange components within a device at a properly equipped Summoning Station and/or associated construction platform.
