Summary	0018218: Shields trivialize some things, suggesting change to recharge method
Description	Specifically what it trivializes most is the non-combat rooms. These could be more interesting, since they're often full of hazards, but the shields you always have mean that you can crash through them, grab stuff, and then effectively get out of the room unscathed. Kinda ruins the point of the room. So instead, have the shields not recharge on leaving a room, but instead only recharge when the last enemy or boss in a room is defeated. That way you cant just go in and out of cleared/empty rooms to keep exploiting the shields. This was actually suggested by Nargasse in a different Mantis thread, but since I think it's a pretty big issue, I'm giving it a seperate thread.

Then have shield recharging via limited "stations" or via monster drops. Some rooms would have "locked" doors that only unlock when all monsters are killed (e.g., preboss rooms, etc). This gaming experience would be akin to Ys (among many other titles).
