Plated spirits get their name from their construction. These simple constructs are built by binding weak fire elemental spirits into a suit of armor. With the binding ritual, several wards are created to keep the creature captured. Elementals seem to have a near limitless supply of energy and these constructs use that energy as a power source. When a plated spirit is defeated, it and its equipment disintegrates into a fine dust. The bound fire elemental is consumed when this happens.
