Effect You surround yourself in a coruscating field of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light for 1 minute. Each color has a different effect, based on the effects of a 7th-rank Chromatic Wall spell, and you apply the effects of each color once before it disappears from your field of light, which can happen in the following two ways.

First, the field attempts a counteract check (counteract rank 7, counteract modifier +27) against any effect that would be blocked by a chromatic wall of any of the colors still surrounding you in your field of light. Succeed or fail, that color then disappears from your field of light.

Second, any creature that touches you or damages you with an unarmed attack or non-reach melee weapon is affected by a random remaining color from your field. As normal, this doesn't affect creatures you choose to touch.

A creature can also remove a color from your field of light by using a specific spell, as described in chromatic wall. The effect ends early if each color disappears from your field of light, or if you choose to Dismiss it.


Craft Requirements The initial raw materials must include 1,600 gp of dawnsilver.


Trait Effects

Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.


Armor Specialisation Effects

The sturdy plate provides no purchase for a cutting edge.

Heavy Armor: You gain resistance to slashing damage equal to 2 + the value of the armor's potency rune.
