Veil of Tears
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Veil of Tears is a relic of the Harlequins, that is a delicate mantle woven from hyperconductive filigree and threaded with minute but exceptionally powerful onyx sinkstones.[1]
These gems can each absorb a colossal charge of energy, be it ballistic, kinetic, plasmic, psychoactive or whatever else. At the moment of absorption the Veil becomes its namesake and gleams like silvery tears as the force of the enemy’s attack is dispersed and absorbed. Afterwards it falls dormant again until the Veil can be drained of power.[1]
