Official Move Approval IV

[Weiss Schnee]

Ivory Guard (300 OM) (requires )

Weiss's mask has a mind of it's own when it comes to materialization, and at times it will manifest itself as a barrier in the way of an enemy attack, hidden in her clothes or otherwise on her person. This ability can block instinctually for Weiss, stopping minor blows, or reducing the power of stronger attacks by some degree.

The upside is that it can get in the way of anything that enters Weiss's enhanced senses, working off her subconscious survival instinct, as long as it has the half second it needs to manifest. The downside is that this can only happen once per fight, and not while Weiss is using the "Ivory visor" power-up."

The mask itself is roughly the size of Weiss's face (for obvious reasons), and is made of a boney material. If it's hit with too much force it can break, crack, or vanish into a puff of black energy, though this does not impact Weiss's ability to use her Power-up at a later date.

It's limitation in terms of where it can manifest is that it needs to manifest out of contact with Weiss's skin.

five seconds after it blocks an attack, it will either break or dematerialize, removing it's shielding effect.

The Mask will block the first thing it feels can seriously threaten Weiss's life, regardless of if she actually wants it to or not.

You didn't note the proficiencies needed or what the maximum distance it can manifest at is. For example, it will need Ranged Materialize if it appears further than 5 feet from Weiss.[/spoiler]

I wasn't sure what the proficiencies needed would be... as far as I know, it's not big enough to need Area shield proficiency, but it's also not really an attack... I guess Physical proficiency would be appropriate?

As for it's maximum distance, as noted in the original post, it needs to manifest in contact with Weiss's skin (though would like to make a slight edit to change that to "body" because now that I've typed the word a second time, the word choice is creeping me out), so it's incapable of appearing any meaningful distance away from her.


Would this work a little better?

It's manifestation is limited to within direct contact with Weiss's body, so it cannot appear any meaningful distance away from her.

five seconds after it blocks an attack, it will either break or dematerialize, removing it's shielding effect.
