 * Name: Rekuiemu (Requiem)
 * Wielder: Griffon Elton
 * Maker/Smith: Vahl Morn
 * Type: Polarity/Dust Gravity Shield (PDGS)
 * Weapon Derivation: Jak's Jetboard, Crocea Mors, that move Legolas pulled with the shield in The Two Towers
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: Shrinks down and fits in his backpack
 * Form 1: An escutcheon shaped shield with dull yellow ventilation lines from the outside to the core, which is covered by a small metal dome. On the side facing Griffon there is a magnetic strip which attaches to the one on his right forearm
 * Form 2: The vent lines begin emitting a yellow glow and the dust (or polarity, depending on the situation) core creates a small gravity field, lifting the shield off the ground when placed down. The pointed bottom part of the shield extends out and the magnetic strip connects to the bottom of Griffon's boots. Basically it's a hoverboard.

It's a hoverboard without propulsion, trying to use it as a skateboard will most likely cause it to flip unless it so low to the ground that shifting the weight of the user when pushing himself forward will cause it to scrape on the ground, removing all speed.

Uhm, where are the metal paths in the forest? is he going to be bound by them so he can only use the shield function when he's not in a very modern city

"Dust Capacity: Specifically uses gravity dust to hold the off the ground in board form and shockwave in shield form. Could use other dust types to increase shckwave effectiveness."

Haven't heard of gravity dust, also doesn't fit in the "Natures wrath" so it's not natural, If synthetic I don't know how it would be made, magnetic (earth and electric)  would be possible but that doesn't give repulsion from the ground. It would also not work as a propulsion for the board I believe unless you made it power an engine of some kind.

"Usage: Board mode can be used as a manuvering tool and to defend against attacks while in air. Shield mode fairly self explanitory but Griffon can activate a repulsion wave capable of heavy knockback. Different dust types apply different elemental effects to the blast. Also has the abillity to save dust by Griffon's magnetic field semblance replacing the repulsion power "

that board is at the feet of the user, How limber is he to protect his head with a board that's attached to his feet, does he take it off of his feet every time he has to protect his upper body?
