The faithful warrior that uses the force to shield others

The invention of “Crystal” has created another possibility in force control.
Force Shielders noticed that Force Archer’s Astral Bow can efficiently support long-range
force control, so they studied how to precisely condense force around Crystal so that force
is not going to be dispersed while attacking enemies, and created Astral Shield as the result.
The creation of Astral Shield opened a new chapter in the history of Nevarethian armors.
Astral Shield has such high defense strength, and it can serve offensive purposes as well.
Warriors and Bladers, who desperately needed a better way to fight and defend,
have become Force Shielders. They wanted higher defense as well as establishing
their own unique battle style. Thus, they started using the heaviest armor such as
Warrior’s Armor Suit with Astral Shield at the same time.

Force Shielders specialize in short-range force control, which means that they
are incapable of doing long-range attacks. However, they make up for the
weakness by developing support magic spells that increase their attack
strength by manipulating outer forces near their bodies, whose methods are similar as the Wizard’s strongest asset.
This revolutionary invention has become a turning point in the Nevarethian battle style. Force Shielders must invest a lot of their effort in physical strength in order to be equipped with Armor Suit, the strongest yet heaviest armor, as well as understanding of force in order to skillfully control force. Also, they need to consider agility for decent hit rate since they can only use one-handed sword. Well-experienced Force Shielders know various ways of manipulating Astral Shields, and can perfect their defense if they master in short-range force control.
