This rune-marked charm is usually worn as part of some form of jewelry or a talisman hanging from a piece of clothing. when the bearer focuses their will on it, they can release the magic contained therein to shield them from damage by the twisting of fate. The charm slowly begins to corrode with an abnormal blue patina, which accelerates every time damage is prevented, and causes it to crumble to dust when completely corroded. Projectiles oddly veer wide or are fatefully intercepted by the environment. Blows strike at odd angles that glance away, or existing armor simply miraculously outperforms its protective abilities. Whatever the reason this lucky bastard simply doesn't get hurt as they should, and only those who notice the unnatural consumption of the charm can place quite why.
No change for rework
