Astrodome Shield

Astrodome Shield

A convex shield, held by a bold yet delicate golden frame. Its design appears to be derived from the visual language and construction of telescopic lenses or compasses. Beneath the frame lies a faint constellation whose name and origin are unknown.

Astrodome Shield is a gold-framed Warrior shield that turns every parry into a resource. Vigorous Deflection returns stamina after a parry, and Arcane Deflection returns mana. Power Parry makes each one fill the enemy's stun bar faster. Blunt and piercing armour fill its remaining enhancements. The result suits a fighter who mixes melee with spells, or anyone who spends stamina freely on heavy swings and dodges. A string of clean blocks refills both bars while the enemy staggers. Its curved face and fine golden rim borrow from telescope lenses and compasses, and a faint, nameless constellation hides beneath the frame. The Blacksmith forges it with Smithing Tools nearby. The recipe takes Celestium Bars, gold, Moonstone Dust, Diamond Dust and Piscine Ivory Dust. Looted copies also wait in the Ancient crates of the Cinder's Cradle.
