Shield for Magic user

[Roninator2]

I hope people see this and can give an answer (I don't come to this thread very often)

I'm trying to figure out a word to use that would represent a shield for a magic user.
For a warrior you have Body armor, helmet, boots, shield, gauntlet, belt, grieves, armlet, coif etc..
But for a magic user you have robe, hood, gloves, boots, belt, maybe more
So I want to have a category for a shield for a magic user but have it called something else.

The best I could find/think of is ward, protector, badge
But not really good names.

I'm kind of thinking it could be like a magic ball that floats over the shoulder, or a small piece of armour that is attached to the robe/arm.

Thoughts?

shield for magic user = barrier/ reflector
ward or badge works okay

magic imbued equip = enchantment

 

[Tiamat-86]

Shield/Buckler/Ward
Helm/Cap/Hood
Armor/Robe
Gauntlet/Bracer/Glove
Grieves/Boots
Cape/Amulet/Necklace/Pendant/Ring

Charm

if it's magical, it could be contained within a piece of jewelry, and be deployed magically.
it doesn't have be a *shield*, it can be a *wristband*, or even a *ring*

Besides ring and cape, a magic belt would also be good. One of the characters in Dragon Quest Dai had a magic belt that amplified his defense, if I recall correctly.

Talisman, Trinket, Frill, Orb, Tome, Totem, Libram, Relic, Idol, Mark, etc...

I think "Ward" is pretty good. "Aegis" or "Charm" also work.

MZ has bracelets for its mages' shields in the default database. I believe Phantasy Star has similar for female characters ("emels" and sleeves). I've pondered mages and rogues getting bucklers instead of full-sized shields, but my fantasy games aim more toward historical combat than enchanted gear. Alternatively, an off-hand mage item that doesn't boost DEF could be a wand, spellbook, etc.

Stuff worn on the arm

• Armlet
• Band
• Bangle
• Bracelet
• Wristlet

Floaty thingie

• Ball
• Bauble
• Censer (these were incense burners that were occasionally mounted to long chains)
• Circle (maybe a magic circle, or something that circles the owner)
• Deflector
• Drone (before they referred to machines, this was a word for ants and bees)
• Screen

 

[Nova By Creative Robot]

it can also be a Tome, another Wand, A crystal ball etc. Anything item that can do magic that you carry like a shield. In games like Diablo/Grimdawn they categorize this as an "Off-hand" equipment.

I create Magic Ring in Shield,which greatly increase MDF 2x than DEF (i design it for Magic User,not the other).

For Elemental,i can make it with Absorbing or Reflecting Traits
