That move never got approved, Alex. I was hoping somebody else would come in and get to it because I was getting pretty tired of it but ...
Let me just rewrite an acceptable version of the move that's worth a six second charge up.
By standing still and charging for five seconds, SPARTAN-813 can summon a mobile energy shield around his armor that, once summoned, takes no additional energy or focus to sustain. The downside is that it is only good to defend against a few weaker attacks (from a foe with equal ATK to SPARTAN-183's DEF) before it fails. It may blunt the damage of a larger attack but will not do much. Against much weaker foes it may defend against several hits before it fades. If not attacked, the shield can last a maximum of six minutes.
