Shran Edmas

"'Thought we'd have a laugh, making this one. Instead, we got something that worked, worked too much. We got lucky with how precise everything is, and we didn't care enough to make plans to copy it.' -???(name soon)"

Description
Shran Edmas is one of Tsorne's more expensive experiments, one Azh Relm decided to take interest in, despite the original plan of simply a "fun" experiment in creating an expandable shield.

Mechanics
Shran Edmas has four portions- the base, including the handle, consisting of a Mal and Driel Soulsolid buckler. The first ring, made of a thick Mal Soulsolid. The second ring, made of El Soulsolid. And the third ring, made of Mal Soulsolid.

The design is as is for a few reasons: The buckler is designed for a standard use, the Driel Soulsolid somewhat helping in regards to energy-based attacks. The first ring is designed for attacks that would be harder to deflect, with the cost of being too heavy to use in something like a sword fight. The second ring is for cases where the buckler and first ring both fail to stop the amount of force, where the El can provide the needed resistance. Finally, the third ring, where the shield becomes perfectly immovable, is for extreme cases, such as large-scale magic attacks, cannons, or other powerful attacks.

Shran Edmas' strength is beyond the metals it is comprised of, as well. To avoid the mechanisms locking the parts in place from decreasing the overall integrity, the inner metal has been turned into a lattice, which as well allows space for the mechanisms to be housed. The exactness of this lattice and the mechanisms fit in it is most of the reason the shield has yet to be replicated, as the first proper creation of it was a pure stroke of luck.
