The Mercurial Bastion

||Soak||Mobility Penalty||Fatigue Value||Attunement Cost|| ||16B/16L||-0||0||1|| Description:
The Mercurial Bastion is a powerful artifact, though burdened with a terrible curse. When not worn, the Mercurial Bastion appears to be a suit of super-heavy plate, comprised of all five Magical Materials in constantly shifting patterns. The plate is beautiful to behold, but it holds a dark secret. Whosoever attunes to the armor finds it sunk into his or her skin, impossible to remove, even by magical means. Simple de-attuning is enough to remove the armor from the wearer’s body. The process takes some time though, about 2 hours. The Mercurial Bastion has four slots for hearthstones. When putting a hearthstone in the Mercurial Bastion, the hearthstone sinks into the Exalt’s flesh, and glows, emanating a soft glow from the place it was deposited. The four slots are located at the palms of both hands and just below the wrist, mirrored on both sides. Clothing easily masks the glow. If such an occasion were to occur, the Exalt wearing the Mercurial Bastion will always set off a metal detector. The exalt wearing the Mercurial Bastion may shift its colors to blend in better with his surroundings, as per Eye-Decieving Camoflauge. The wearer also gains the effects of Element-Resisting Prana, and Respect-Commanding Attitude.
