The armour? Oh, you mean the short little black dress with gloves and high-heeled boots that made you look like 2B from NieR Automata-

THAT

armor? Yeah, you were pretty sure in real life this get-up wouldn 't protect shit but alas in the fantasy world of armor logic, it was one of the best for the stats you were looking for. Weak against physical damage but strong magic resistance. Good dark and light energy boosts. It was a perfect match for you. With your brutes, you were sure they could soak up the physical damage for you but not the magic- that 's where the barriers come in. You had range damage covered.

As far as close quarters you had a sword for yourself- a magic sword of course. It worked well with fighting if you found yourself in a pickle. You could use it with your curse energy, though you will mainly use your spells. You typically wanted to keep the enemies away so you could do what you did best.
