Barrier Jacket

A type of light, versatile, and ubiquitous personal body armor powered by mana. It was developed during the Column Era and has since become the standard type of armor for most professional soldiers and mercenaries. The main features of the Barrier Jacket is that it is light, easier to activate/deactivate, and provides powerful protection. In its deactivated state the jacket appears as a sigil on a person (usually in the form of a bracelet, necklace, earing, or ring). In its activated state, the jacket will cover the person in a fitting suit of armor based on the jacket's specifications. The jacket is automatically deactivated when a user's mana is depleted, though some models have built in mana systems that will sustain for a limited duration after a user has run out of mana.
