[color=2e2c2c].............................................................................[/color][/sup][/center][/cell][cell] Once upon a time, Stormy Carson was not the stoic, unflinching man he is today. He always had the deep desire to shield others from harm, but his magic wasn't powerful. His protective auras required time to cast, making them less reliable in a fight. And the barriers he created could only take a few hits before shattering. No matter how hard he trained, there was always a small flaw in his spells, and people died because of this. And so Goro Hatanaka stepped in to help his training along by giving him a better way to channel his magic. The Wall of Defiance acted as a stand-in for his channeler, amplifying the ease of his yellow Lux in just such a way that he only had to think of the spells he wanted. Every spell that Stormy ever invented was recorded by this shield, allowing anybody to wield them in the event that he fell in battle. The longer he channeled his Lux through the Wall of Defiance, the stronger its power became. By the time the coven sealed the Stygian Snake, Stormy was conjuring entire beachheads of magical fortification that were damn near unbreakable.

Additionally, the Wall of Defiance began to take on a reflection of Stormy's perseverance. The shield itself has become so infused by his yellow Lux that it can survive direct damage from all but the absolute mightiest entities. A master pyromancer will struggle to so much as singe the face of this shield, and the strongest weapons will barely make a dent. Though it lacks much use as an actual weapon, the wielders enemies will shatter against it before the shield lets them down.
