Mageplate

Pahtra sorcerers have used carefully calibrated magnetic fields to enhance magic since time immemorial. Mageplate consists of broad polymer slab plates filigreed with carefully enchanted magnetic metals, set against a carbonweave backing. When the wearer uses a spell slot to cast a spell, the armor resonates with the expended energy, granting the caster a +2 enhancement bonus to AC and saving throws until the end of their next turn. Veskarium manufacturers have appropriated and repurposed the design for widespread use, much to traditional pahtra crafters’ dismay. Suits created with traditional materials cost 10% more and are more likely to impress pahtra onlookers rather than offend them as the cheaper knock-offs do.
