Recenty during an event a Lesser Iron Ward Diamond - pg 26 MIC was found. The call was made that since the description said that for the Lesser Version that it only attaches "to medium or heavy armor" that it would not be able to attach to a heavy shield. Since this is listed as a Armor / Shield crystal I was looking if anyone knows what Shields = what levels of Armor for referece to things like Crystals in general.

As I read it as a DM:

Light Armor = Light Shield
Medium Armor = Heavy Shield
Heavy Armor = Tower Shield

Anyone know of any specific references?

I would have to say the any of iron ward diamonds only work on armor since it states "armor crystal". For it to work on a shield it would need to say "armor or shield crystal" like the crystal of adamant armor.
