Hack Shield, Mk 1

Hybrid

A hack shield is a small, clear ball made of transparent steel. When placed on or near a computer or other technological device that can be hacked, the hack shield can be activated to create a small, transparent dome around the device. This dome does not prevent physical contact with the device, but it does create a protective shield that magically enhances its security. This protective shield increases the DC required to hack the device by 2 × the mark of the hack shield. This protection last for 8 hours, after which the hack shield becomes inactive and must charge for 24 hours until it can be used again.
