The amount of energy required to maintain the shields is proportional to the amount of energy being blocked by the shields. Typically, this is reserved for large airships, as the power usage is quite significant. When active, it usually gives off a green colored glow. The Needle Blazer mounted in the elbows of the RPI-212 Vincent is developed based on the same technology. A downfall in the Blaze Luminous is that, an airship or knightmare that is fully covered by it, is unable to attack or make offensive moves until it is off. A variant to the Blaze Luminous is the Black Knights' Radiant Wave Shielding as well as the Shinkiro's Absolute Defense System.
