This spell is an enhanced version of the 7th-level Darklight's force armour. It is the same as the lower level spell, except as noted.
The armour is less awkward, giving the wizard full normal movement capacities, but still incurring a -1 Dexterity penalty. It also adds flight capabilities to the armour, with moulded constructs on the armour's back which project coloured flame (actually jets of force, not fire). These cannot be used to attack, but can propel the wizard at MV 36, MC C in tight manoeuvring; over long distances, it can reach MV 72, MC F. The flight capacity of the armour is limited to normal atmospheric flight.
The arms of the suit are equipped with retractable blades of force, "housed" above the wizard's forearms and springing forth upon mental command. These act as +2 weapons for purposes of what creatures may be hit, and can be used without proficiency penalties. One attack with each per round can be made, and on a successful hit do 2d10 cutting damage.
The armour glows slightly reddish, with brighter areas at the joints; it has obvious bumps on the forearms and the back, where bright red jets of force emerge during flight from a squarish force structure.
The material component is a diamond cut so as to resemble a small person, to which is affixed a ruby sword and sapphire wings.
