I am grateful to hear that you have worked with Asgardian armor before. Hopefully the damage to mine will be relatively easy to fix, as I am sorry to say that I perished in my world prior to finding myself here after I had three daggers impaled into my chest. So the damage is minimal, but in an area that makes it uncomfortable to wear currently.
Thank you for the advice of the magical notebook, as well. I am going to do my best to figure out these devices, but it is good to know that there is another option.
