The Scarlet Armor of Illusion was a enchanted heavy armor that passed down for generations. The wearer attacked and defended as if he ignored the armor's weight, and it could take on the form of any adornment that the wearer desired, in any color or combination desired. Additionally the air kami granted their protection to the wearer, canceling all the armor's other magical effects, and enhancing the magical ability of any shugenja who wore it when casting air spells.
