Laeral's Storm Armor (Magic Armor)

Named for the wizardess who devised it, storm armor is plate armor +2, of a peculiar nonmetallic alloy. It does not conduct electricity, and has the power to transfer heat to and from the surrounding air, so that the wearer remains comfortable during a freezing gale or under the hot desert sun. The wearer is thus unaffected by fireball, ice storm, or cone of cold spells, and immune to electrical damage of any kind. The wearer can stand securely, or move forward at normal speed, in the face of even the most powerful wind (including a magical gust of wind). If storm armor is struck simultaneously in different areas by spells causing hot and cold (such as cone of cold or chill metal and wall of fire or heat metal) it becomes brittle and may be shattered by physical attacks doing at least 9 points of damage. (The character takes all damage inflicted over 9 points.) The armor is only brittle while both hot and cold spells affect it and for one round afterward. When it shatters, it does so thoroughly: a chain reaction occurs in the unstable components of the alloy and the armor disintegrates into useless pieces.
