WRAITHGUARD (Right-Hand)
Legendary Artifact (requires attunement)
The Wraithguard is an ancient Dwemer gauntlet crafted by Lord Kagrenac himself, in order to handle the powerful tools that gave his people access to the power of the Heart of Lorkhan. The Wraithguard becomes a part of the wearer's physical form while they are attuned, bracing itself to their arm. Being one of the most powerful artifacts, it cannot be destroyed or altered by any means, even by a wish spell. With it, the wearer can handle dangerous substances that would destroy or ruin other material. While wearing the Wraithguard, certain Dwemer artifacts will not damage the wielder, so long as they are used in the correct hand. In addition, the wielder becomes resistant to many types of magic: fire, cold, poison and lightning damage, and immunity to all diseases.
SHIELDS
AURIEL'S SHIELD
Shield (Buckler), Very Rare
You receive a +2 bonus to your Armor Class while using this shield. Whenever a creature makes a weapon attack against you that misses, you can use your reaction to cast thunderwave as a 2nd-level Spell without expending magicka.

Whenever you would be dealt damage by a spell or magical effect, you can use your reaction to raise the shield and completely absorb that spell's damage (that would be dealt to you), subtracting it from the shield's total hit points. If damage would cause the shield to fall below 0 hit points, you take the leftover damage, converted to psychic damage. Whenever a spell would cause you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to raise the shield and gain advantage on that throw.
