Iron Kimono

This is a protective spell for geisya and other oriental spellcasters. By casting this spell, the geisya temporarily enchants her kimono, obi, and tabi to a higher Armor Class. Though the clothing appears the same, it actually protects the geisya as armor of AC 5. At the end of the spell's duration, the Armor Class returns to its normal rating. Dexterity bonuses apply to the caster; the iron kimono does not hamper movement in any way.

Notes: Uncommon in oriental settings; very rare elsewhere.
