While wearing both leather wraps, one on each hand, you can still use weapons and shields. During combat you can use a bonus action to activate one of the wraps to create a magical shield, as long as you aren't holding a shield, and your ac is +2 till your next turn. This may be used 2 times, once per wrap, and resets after a short rest.

Notes: Bonus: AC Max Dex Modifier, must wear both leather wraps
