Crystal Helm
“You shape incarnum into a light helm that surrounds your head and anything you might be wearing on it, including another helm. The substance of this helm is transparent crystal with a faceted appearance. As it rests over your head, you can almost feel a barrier erected behind your eyes, barring the way to those who would intrude into your mind.” Magic of Incarnum p. 63
This soulmeld has a wonderful double effect. It always grants a bonus to will saves, helping keep the shaper’s mind free from influence, but also grants a defensive deflection bonus as it is invested with essentia. Finally, when bound, the crystal helm enhances all of the shaper’s attacks with its own augmented reality, lending them the force descriptor and allowing them to hit even incorporeal entities.
This helm, aside from a potentially odd appearance over another helm (solved, of course, by not wearing another helm) and not matching other armor, grants a variety of benefits both defensive and offensive. A solid choice, especially since this is the first bind an incarnate learns.
