Summary 0002315: Ozocubu's armour and condensation shield should benefit from ice enhancer
Description It's good that those spells efficiency depends on the Ice skill rather than the spell power, but it has the downside that they don't benefit from the ring of ice and the staff of cold. They boost the spell power, but it just increases the duration of the spell. I think it would be interesting, both for flavour and for gameplay, if they get a boost while your wearing/wielding the enhancer.
The bonus should stay only if you keep using the enhancer, you would lose it if you switch equipment. Also, you should get it if you switch to the enhancer even if you weren't using it when you were casting.

 Yeah... especially if it's done the way of MR bonus from Enchantments, and goes away on unwield. Ozocubu gives you heavy armour without drawbacks.

 AC isn't "heavy armor" as much as GDR is.

I'm against this change, as it's inconsistent with how enhancers work everywhere else, and armor doesn't need a boost anyway (nor does it need to be nerfed when not using an enhancer). And gameplay-wise, enhancers are attractive to heavy casters but not hybrids, meaning that this would be giving casters AC(/SH) while taking it from characters that actually have a melee focus - hybrids aren't going to trade slots for a little AC and rF-, and staff combat builds are hardly the norm.

 As mentioned, it doesn't seem like a very good idea to have this kind of inconsistency.
