Infusing this shield with fire is amazingly effective:

- 98.2% physical damage reduction.

- 95% fire damage reduction.

The other defenses aren't impacted greatly, either, and the stability stays the same, especially when reinforced to +10. For those having trouble getting a Gyrm Greatshield, or don't want the burden it puts on the equipment load, this is a viable substitute.
