Re: Eye Shield
That depends on how effective you think thugs should be.
I agree that it's better, for most applications, than most of the other introductory shields, which are inferior to a second weapon.
However, I think thugs are generally inferior to invoker mages, so that isn't saying much. The Weightless shields, in particular, have a strong role as investment-protection for gem-carrying spellcasters, and they're a lot better for-that-purpose than the eye shield.
But that's not enough, in and of itself, to say that it is unbalancing - it's also in a different path from most of the other intro shields, and unlike air magic, nature magic doesn't make winged shoes.
