Cheapest tier-1 magic defense item, an early lane-survival buy against magic damage.

Each bar is scaled against the highest value of that stat on any item in the game — the faint number at the end of the track is that maximum.
When to build it
Not a counter-item on its own; grab it turn 1 vs. a magic-damage-heavy lane opponent. Feeds directly into Black Ice Shield, Radiant Armor, Dominance Ice, Cursed Helmet, Thunder Belt and Tough Boots, and reaches Athena's Shield through Silence Robe.
