You cannot mod armor with air shield to my knowledge and cannot mod afflictions. Maybe one of the wily vets can add their wisdom.

And since you guys are a tough crowd, I took your traitor idea, but not for a water race, to make Ermor's Epic Hero. Thoughts?

The Order of Sauromancers requires rigorous training and skill for membership, including immersion in the black waters of the Underworld. In ancient times Sauromancers learned black magic, and closely guarded its secrets. For they understood that the use of black magic by mages not fully trained would lead to the swift destruction of all living beings. The Betrayer of Ctis lost a bitter fight for leadership of the Order to a rival. Knowing his life expectancy under his rival's rule would be extremely short, the Betrayer left Ctis. Later, he surfaced at Ermor promising to reveal the secrets of dark magic in return for power and wealth. Though he warned the Ermor mages not to practice dark magic until their training was complete, their impatience caused his dire warnings to go unheeded. When the nightmare started, the Betrayer aided Ermor, and now leads the Death Cult.
