ART: MittlererWeg IDEA: coinich NOTES: Playing a shield will discard this card.  Playing this card will discard your shield.  This card reduces the amount shields can block, though it won't reduce other effects.  The percentages part only affects Fog, Dusk, Dimensional, Wings, and Bonewall.  I'm not sure how it can handle Dissipation Shield/Field unless its setup like Dimensional Shield, allowing 10/20% of the attacks to go through uninhibited.  The effect DOES stack, rewarding the player able to get multiples of these out.  In that case, it would act as boosting card damage; shields (or no shield) would provide negative protection, meaning more damage for the attacker.  Stats go back to normal if the weapon is destroyed.

Its very ard to calculate a variable on a shield.
I say if you want to affect shields, give momentum, or +x while they have a shield or destroys shields.

Why is it a Darkness Weapon?

How does it work against Wings, or Phase Shield or Fire Buckler?

The concept of damaging armor and shields was what I was going for; we discussed the history of that in chat.  I could simply do a group buff, but its also in the element with Eclipse, which is a bit redundant.

Darkness seems to me to rely on sabotaging the opponent's efforts, through cards such as Steal and Devourer.  A weapon that reduced their ability to defend themselves seemed appropriate.

Any non point shield gets a percentage nerf, so that Wings would only work 90%|80% of the time, same as Phase Shield.  Fire Buckler and others that don't block damage are like shields that block 0, and 0 minus 1 is negative 1.  You can't block negative damage, so that means its like adding to your creatures' attacks.
