Summary	0008852: Add random modifiers to shields
Description	Shields are in a bit of a strange place right now: they have levels, but they don't have modifiers. This means, among other things, that they don't appear as mission rewards, and you can't craft shields of higher quality. Obviously, most of the modifiers for damaging spells won't make sense on shields. Here are some modifiers that could be added to shields. Positive modifiers: * Reduced mana cost per second * Increased resistance to (element) when active * Increased movement speed when active * Increased jump power when active * Damages melee attackers (based on a percentage of the shield's power) * Slows movement of melee attackers Negative modifiers: * Increased mana cost per second * Significantly increased cooldown * Reduced movement speed when active * Reduced jump power when active * Cannot cast spells when active (can still deactivate shield)

What do you think about shields having modifiers that affect all spells cast while they are up? This could apply for both positive and negative modifiers - for example, "+10% projectile speed / +10% cooldown to all spells cast by the player while the shield is up" (the language could be made shorter, I'm sure). Or would that be too complicated and/or overpowered?
