Palm Shield [300]
Lesser Shield Manifest Technique
The Palm Shield takes three seconds to generate and creates only a single shield with a diameter only slightly larger than the length of Stein's palm and middle finger. It is meant to deflect smaller, more direct projectiles away from himself. The Palm Shield can deflect only moderately powered attacks before shattering.
As a Lesser technique, it is generally easy to focus on, meaning he can generate one shield per open hand independently or simultaneously of what the other hand is doing, unless he is occupied by a Complex technique. He can also maintain an unfinished shield even while taking low powered attacks, though moderate or higher powered direct hits can cause him to lose focus, resulting in a premature shatter.
When combined with superior technique, it might be possible to use the Palm Shields to redirect attacks right back at their origin. Beware. The Palm Shield cannot block instant-hit attacks.
Unnamed Shield Technique #1[300]
Complex Shield Manifest Technique
Stein has linked his Fight or Flight response to his Shield abilities. While in combat, he can passively manifest what amounts to "ammunition" if he does not take damage and does not use any Manifest-type Techniques. Either option causes Stein to lose any progress. Upon loss, completion, or the use of a Complex (but not Lesser) Manifest technique, there is a five second cooldown before this passive effect begins again.
Using a [Insert name here] mitigates 5 seconds of Manifesting. If the time is reduced to 0, then the Manifest-type Technique is treated as an Instant-type instead. Each "charge" is a semi-physical object which can be targeted and destroyed with minor damage.
Stein begins a battle with no "charges" and can only accumulate them if threatened. One minute without danger destroys 1 "charge," and 1 more each minute following.
Blink Shield [300]
Complex Instant Shield Technique
While the Palm Shield generally lasts indefinitely until shattered, the Blink Shield is lesser version that appears for only an instant. It is capable of blocking just one attack before it instantly shatters, even against a weak strike. Though it takes only an instant create and lasts little longer than such, Blink Shield is much more draining than Palm Shield because A: it is stronger, B: it is instant. He can use five in the span of a few minutes before suffering major fatigue, rendering him unable to use Complex techniques without resting.
Any Complex or Lesser techniques in the process of generating are lost when using Blink Shield. The Blink Shield cannot block Super Moves, nor can it block instant-hit attacks.
Superior Blink Shield [600]
AKA the NOPE Shield
Super Defense Move
By expending a great amount of energy, Stein is capable of creating an instant and very powerful shield to block any attack of equal power (T1 Super) or lower the instant it would have seemed to hit him. This often creates a stunning effect where Stein seems absolutely uneffected by what might have been an opponent's most powerful technique.
