Colossus Armor

Colossus armor is a type of magical construct that has been invented and produced in the distant nation of Albion. These magically powered, steam operated machines encapsulate the occupant in thick, magically resistant plating and multiply the wearer's natural strength and toughness manyfold. Only mages are capable of powering the lacrima cores that animate these massive objects. The internal construction of these suits ordinarily makes casting magic from inside impossible, but many mages find the loss of magical flexibility is more than made up for in durability and might.

Certain rare colossus armors contain dragon lacrima cores, which enable the occupants to use dragon slayer magics of the associated elemental type.
