[@Kafka Komedy] Hey, I've had a bit of time to think about Galan's application of Lapi, and here's what I'm thinking: 

His longsword, armour and shield will be imbedded by small shards of the magical rock, granting them extra-ordinary powers when compared to their normal counter parts. Nothing extreme, but I'm thinking the following buffs: 

[color=0076a3][b]Redeeming Edge (Longsword)[/b][/color] - Galan can lend his energy to his sword, covering the blade in a shimmering wave of electricity which will transfer itself to a target by touch, thereby electrocuting them. Whether this attack is fatal, depends entirely on the constitution of Galan's adversary. I.e, weaker opponents might be outright killed by it, where as stronger ones, such as other characters, might only be dazed by it. Galan can perhaps use this attack three or four times per combat, before exhausting himself. 

[color=662d91][b]Bulwark of Regret (Armour)[/b][/color] - Before riding into combat, Galan will lend energy to his armour in what is an hour-long ritual. Once complete, the Lapi-imbued metal of his full plated armour becomes protected by an invisible barrier capable of warding off some magical and physical attacks, or reducing their effectiveness. How much damage or magical attacks his armour can sustain before the barrier fails is entirely dependant on how strong the attacks are. For example, a Wizard casting a lightning bolt at Galan would severely weaken or perhaps outright destroy the barrier; however, an arrow fired from distance by a lowly archer, would do little, and it would take a dozen more to break his barrier and make him vulnerable. 

This Lapi ability is designed to keep Galan alive when he heads cavalry charges or fights in the front of any combat situation, as opposed to giving him some kind of "advantage" over other characters. It'd suck if three posts in he got mobbed and killed by a bunch of peasant NPCs :P

[color=fff200][b]The Hulk of Fordsen (Shield)[/b][/color] - The Hulk of Fordsen is an ancestral kite-shield that has long been held by the Fieflord of Fordsen, which in this case is Sir Galan. The shield, like his armour and sword, is imbued by shards of Lapi. By placing his shield in front of him, and lending his energy to it, Galan can cast an invisible wave of kinetic energy which will knock his opponent over or stumble them backwards if they are strong enough to withstand it. Think of it as an extra heavy shield bash. It has a range of about six feet, before the energy dissipates.

What do you think? Am I on the right track?
