No matter what form the Armor of Twilight has it is always of the finest quality and design and could only have been created by a master craftsman of some ancient age. All forms of the armor have a series of runes on them which light up blue when a power is used. As the armor grows in experience and new powers are offered, an extra rune will light up when a power is used.
The armor's powers generally have an individual effect on the wearer. As the experience with the armor grows, there is an ability to expand these protections in a radius to aid your companions. At the DM's discretion, he may allow the protections of the armor to extend to a person occupying the same space. For example - In great need, the wearer desperately clutches the young princess to himself and prays that he can protect her against all odds from the incoming dragon fire.
