Slobby: yes, that's WAD. It's intended to be an awesome casting armor--that's the only way it can be superior to Lightweight Scale Mail if Lightweight Scale is already 0 enc.

Honestly I believe the reasoning behind changing the Earth booster was to keep all the Earth nations from having to have a Blood pretender to get their boosters--it was worth it for nations to do that when Blood Stones gave gems, but after that was eliminated it seemed simply cruel to force MA Ulm etc to get blood on their pretender. It only really affects MA Abysia, who of the blood nations was nerfed least by the lack of SDRs. Needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few etc.
