== Analysis ==
* A character with trained/specialized shield skill can achieve maximum absorption fairly easily, as their base shield can likely be raised over 433.
* A character that does not have shield or missile weapons trained can still benefit from magic absorbing items by using a shield or imbued missile weapon with no wield requirement.  
** A character with untrained shield wielding a 25% shield with 10 base Strength and Coordination gives:
*** ((.25 * .8 * 200 * .0030) - (.25 * .8 * .3) = .06 or 6% absorption
** A character with untrained shield wielding a 25% shield with 100 base Strength and Coordination gives:
*** ((.25 * .8 * 290 * .0030) - (.25 * .8 * .3) = .114 or 11.4% absorption
** A character wielding a Fetish of the Dark Idols imbued missile weapon with 10 base Focus and Willpower and trained Magic Defense gives:
*** 25 - (.1 * (319 - 265)) = 19.6% absorption
** A character wielding a Fetish of the Dark Idols imbued missile weapon with 100 base Focus and Willpower and trained Magic Defense gives:
*** 25 - (.1 * (319 - 291)) = 22.2% absorption
** A character wielding a Fetish of the Dark Idols imbued missile weapon with 10 base Focus and Willpower and specialized Magic Defense gives:
*** 25 - (.1 * (319 - 293)) = 22.4% absorption
** A character wielding a Fetish of the Dark Idols imbued missile weapon with 100 base Focus and Willpower and specialized Magic Defense gives:
*** 25 - (.1 * (319 - 319)) = 25% absorption
* So for non-shield, non-missile weapon characters, an imbued no wield missile weapon provides the most absorption.  Mages can also use one of the tomes to get a lower amount of absorption but still be able to cast spells.
