Runic Shielding is a research option under the Artifice tab that becomes available to research after researching Infusion. Researching Runic Shielding allows for it to be placed onto Mundane Rings, Amulets, and Belts. Runic Shielding itself, though, is a magical field that absorbs damage for the wearer, acting as extra health that replenishes itself using Terra and Aer Vis instead of hunger. Each point of Runic Shielding acts as an extra half heart of health. There is no technical limit to the amount of Runic Shielding one can have, but practically one can reach between 40 and 50 points, although it is possible, and obtainable, to get so much as 60 or more points. Damage done to the player is still lessened by armor, and the armor damaged, while the remaining damage is then done onto the Shield. Normally, it can recharge itself at about 1 point every 2 seconds, but this can be cut down to 1 second per point if one as researched Specialized Runic Baubles. Runic Shielding can also be increased or added onto different items after researching Runic Shielding Augmentation. All of the jewelry pieces enchanted with Runic Shielding from this research use Nitor, Amber, Enchanted Fabric, Scribing Tools and a Primal Charm, along with differing amount of Preamunio and Potentia Essentia, in their making.
