Thanks!
And yeah, as you can see in my other sketch thingy I did design a very revealing mage armor outfit, but it's just meant as supplemental coverage to protect the heart on the off chance the magic shields fail. This is partly symbolic as well, as Garden society does associate the heart with the "emotional center" of the body, and believes that the soul is housed within it, so during battle it is important to protect it at all costs; if the elf dies, but their heart is undamaged, there is a better chance their soul will make it to their afterlife intact, in their belief.

That is a cool bit to add to them, stuff about a race's society and beliefs like that are fascinating and offer a lot of material to work with in the case they run across someone of another one! And it is smart, the heart isn't all too hard to hit, so protecting it would keep them alive longer than protecting, say, their kidney, though both would hurt with no doubt.
