Instructor Oileren said, and Declan replied:
"The Adaptive Energy Shield is a nano-morphing shield that automatically reshapes and redistributes force to block physical strikes and Arcana attacks from Ember."
"They can absorb and redirect energy or stiffen at points of impact."
"The first limit is the material limitations."
"While we indeed have materials that can instantly change shape and state, this tech will need materials that not only change shape and state but also change density in response to incoming forces."
"I don't think we have such metals yet, and even if we do have metals that can flex or composite materials that can deform, having them react to the speed of an Ember strike is physically impossible."
"The metals we use to craft shields that can block Ember attacks are the hardest metals we've got, and none of them have the property of morphing."
He explained, and Declan's brow furrowed.
"The second limit is the energy demands," he continued.
