When Victor Vaugn first designed his signature super suits, he learnt of a way to transfer the kinetic energy that the wearer was producing into a sustainable and clean energy source; an energy source that Victor could take advantage of, activated by the subconscious response to the sense of danger, vocal command, or simply activating it through the suits control panel, the suit would transfer the built up power of the kinetic energy created through running, walking, fighting, etc on and over the wearers suit, creating a vividly colorful and transparent barrier extending only a few inches off the skin over the supersuit.
The barrier visually is a hexagonal grid in the shape of the users outline, the color of the barrier itself is dependent on the wearer and can be edited through the control panel to the wearers wishes

When the band made by the above ritual is worn, it occasionally (every 4 hours or so) briefly flashes a translucent outline of its wielder’s body at peak condition (this is their “elemental”, the shell or outline of their soul), and the wielder is able to focus as if they themselves were at peak condition.
The band captures a person’s elemental, the shell of a person’s soul that is left behind in its movement, according to some of the occultist Helena Blavatsky’s teachings. By briefly redisplaying this shell over the user’s form, the user can synchronize their body with their soul at a healthier time. A necromantic ritual for “soul finding” has recently allowed David to find a more complete version of a person’s elemental, allowing this technique to synchronize a previous healthier mind as well.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
