If it doesn't transmit shockwaves, then you have what, a completely rigid material? That means you can't move it, for one, since it will require an infinite amount of energy to move. And if it doesn't require an infinite amount of energy to move, because it's powered by plotholium, then it violates relativity and you have a faster-than-light material.
Since you can move heartstone, I choose to believe it simply has a mechanism by which it absorbs energy and uses it to reinforce its structure. No violation of general relativity required.

We had a lengthy discussion of this on wotmania a few years ago...

There are problems.

Yep. My point is a thin layer of heartstone armor would lead to warrior organ jello.

The spike was a later addition; the primary method of damage was blunt force trauma. *NM*

Who says it would transmit the shockwaves? As you note below it violates many laws of physics. *NM*

well there seems to be more effective ways of going about making armor

Awesome. So take your thoughts and apply them to the situation.
