The sparring session might have been lopsided, but they did learn a lot about the abilities of the shields that Dominic had made for them.
"Did you have a plan to make the rest of these? Or is it a project to let you hide in the forge for days at a time?" Alexis asked as she wiped sweat from her brow.
"A bit of both. But we asked some members of the Sect to do the time intensive work for us, and I'll do the shields and final assembly. That way I can do a half dozen in a day, and get through them in a reasonable amount of time." Dominic explained, while the other Royals mentally calculated how much stronger a Royal Guard force could be with that sort of gear.
The real change wasn't the level, most of the time, they didn't need to use as much as they could.
The advantage was in the mana reduction, so that they could use the attack spells constantly.
