Armor Effectiveness

This article needs verification. (Specific reason: Confirm the current client label, exact Shield of Crystal formula, what armor values or skills it modifies, stacking rules, duration scaling, and whether any other sources grant this effect.)

Armor Effectiveness is a bonus granted by Shield of Crystal when the caster has trained Earth Magic Specialization. It improves the effectiveness of armor, but the exact affected statistics and current calculation need verification.

The existing Shield of Crystal record gives the single-stack bonus as:

10 + (Shield of Crystal skill level / 8)

The bonus requires Earth Magic Specialization but is recorded as depending on Shield of Crystal's skill level rather than the specialization level. Release 90 added the Armor Effectiveness benefit to specialized Shield of Crystal and also increased the spell's health scaling.
