Looking for help wording a request for an interesting new shielding system so that it's easily understandable, yet still gives enough detail to be plausible.
SoP: EASS: Emotive Adaptive Shielding Solution;
A new personal and heavy shielding system prototyped by the Ancient Caorrn Relorians, completed and reinforced by the Sons of Plunder. The full capabilities of this system are still yet to be seen, though it has already been found to be roughly fifteen times as efficient as current shielding systems. The efficiency is more of a perk, however, compared to the original goal of the prototype.
The following pictures display the few ways the prototype was utilized during Caorrn testing:
Here, the tester is utilizing mass-shifting effects of the shielding unit to create a hidden projectile by drawing metals out of the ground.
The tester was dropped out of an orbiting ship, using the shield to alter both the gravity around her and the mass of herself and the surrounding atmosphere to enable an orbital troop drop without any extra equipment.
An unintended discovery during an attack on the research and development lab, the tester used the shielding system to, rather than the expected linear shield-wall attacks, shift the shield into a very precise, small blade utilizing rotary motion to slice through enemies, invisibly tethered to the tester's fingers.
Again during an attack on the research center, a heavily wounded tester backed into a corner let his emotions fuel the shielding system. Coupled with his already instinctive mindset during the attack, the shield around him shifted into a multi-armed beast with shield-blade claws and teeth, showing the system capable of interacting with more than just active, surface thoughts despite the lack of programming for such an input source.
The reasons as to why the project was halted are as yet unknown, though the numerous mid-battle discoveries and the time-stamps on the data entries suggest the research center was destroyed before the project could be completed, near towards the end of Caorrn civilization. The Sons of Plunder have taken up the project, completing the integration with the Relorian Weave for power, running safety tests for Sierrensa monks using the system, and incorporating radiation-shielding techniques to lower the ease of detecting the shield's EM signature What I need help with is explaining how the shield is able to manipulate mass/gravity as in the first couple pictures.
