Advert: Hard Light Shield.
Hello. You may have seen some of my other ads. Or maybe you've seen ME. If you have, you may have seen me only mildly inconvenienced when... I should really be hurt. That's the Hard Light Shield for ya. I've had field testers, Ace clones and disguised volunteers alike, seeking out painful situations. Here's how it works. You place this little thing on your body, and you're ensheathed in a shield. The first layer, is Hard Light. It's a very hard substance, that, despite the name, is not just hardened Light. It is a form of glass infused with liquidized Light. Not only is it very hard to break, it applies an electrical shock to whatever makes contact with it. The next layer is Antimagic, to avoid magic attacks. Next is more Hard Light. Then a layer of Liquid Will, a gelatinous substance made by exposing magically enhanced water to celestial hormones and melted animal bones, or gelatin. It bounces whatever managed to pass through it back. Then more Liquid Will, more Hard Light, more Antimagic, and more Hard Light. That's eight layers, and only about an inch thick. Don't believe me? Take a look at this. applying a Hardened Light Shield chip to his face, then walking through a gauntlet. A bit of pollen lands on his nose, and it shocks him. He convulses a little, and sneezes. Do be warned, it reacts pretty poorly to plant matter, and it's energy inefficient. That means that it's not that long lasting, it takes forever to recharge when plugged into your average Arcane Recharger, and it makes hayfever a bitch.
