Harry's Duster and the dangerous world of Chicago
Fcrate:
What I'd like to see is an upgrade for the duster; where it can spread the kinetic energy of the incoming projectile evenly across the body. Front and back, if possible.

Something that extends it out across his whol aura rather than the literal cover of the leather would be nice. He saw it done in Changes when Lea made those protections for Susan, and an example on stage has been an easy source of upgrade before (see how many times he's mentioned adapting Rashid's eye salve).

I wonder what the life time on a spell like that would be. It would be interesting to see Harry weigh the strengths of his spells vs the duration. He says he is close to a year before having to rework the duster spells. It would be interesting if he would give up say 6 months of duration to increase the strength and space of the spell.

I think he could circumvent that with some creativity. Figure out how to add in the second, aura-level protection in addition to his normal kinetic enchantment. The aura-level stuff could be a temporary thing—activate it, and it functions for a couple of days before he has to lay the enchantment back down. That way he always has his bulletproofing, which is the biggest concern most of the time, but when he's going up against nasty magic, he can pop his extra layer. It might take some of the pressure off his shield, too, which was frequently a concern.

Not unlike the one-use super barrier crystal he gave Molly to use in TC.
