The rune empowered the soul of Lucian, giving him a great desire of slaying and vengeance against the wicked.) The armor is now accented/decorated all over with pieces of gold. The armor is now also wrapped in green and black cloths, to help keep the surface of the armor from blemishing and keep Lucian warm.
