Immensely.... Canthe caith be returned to the alumail? I'm thinking for Larack to siphon the caith from armor to his hammer for storage to whoop the judged, then after all is daid and done, reweave the armor for his size and put the caith back into the alumail. 

If not in combat, then to wait until after the fight with the ruined armors, draw them out after combat, reweave the alumail, then put the energy back.
