i had a few ideas i hope you like.

Shields: OK first thing i hope my English isn't to bad so sorry if i write something you cant understand. i thought about 2 shields a basic Thaumium shield which is a very basic shield and has no special abilities because it should be used in infusion to craft the second shield.i also thought about making it better enchant able but than i noticed that the only way to get enchantments on shields is by using an anvil (the the enchantments still work) so instead of making it better enchant-able it would be a good idea making it enchant-able at all or maybe adding some shield specific enchantments.

so the second shield would be the Thaumium fortress shield to match the Thaumium fortress armor. so it should also be enchantable but i thought it would be a good idea if you could upgrade it like the fortress helmet with its masks or maybe making something like the elemental tools .i have the following ideas for upgrades. 1:Shield knock-back.that means if a mob/projectile hits you while blocking the mob/projectile would be thrown away from you.

2:runic shielding.i don't know if runic shielding is still a thing but this anyways would work a bit different so i thought that if you block with it it creates some sort of magical wall in front of you which protects you and your friends(if in multiplayer) from attacks but it would cost vis.

3:Ramming.OK this is kinda stolen from the betweenlands shields but i think it may fit in here to so the shield ramming means if you're blocking and pressing shift (or a trigger key) that you're running very fast in the direction you're looking at for a short amount of time and damage every entity in your way(this also should consume vis).

And also the model for the shield should be big enough so that a banner could fit on it(i don't know if its possible at the moment to bring banners on other models then the vanilla one).

Banner Rework: I don't really know why Thaumcraft adds its own banner when banners are already in game you could just make new banner patterns which also means they would work with shields.

Horse Armor and saddles: so i don't know if such things are possible with the current version of forge but i had the idea of firstly horse armors like normal Thaumium,fortress Thaumium(if it is possible rendering 3d armors on horses) and void metal.but at the moment i don't know what special effects they could have. and to saddles it would be cool if there would be an saddle which would allow you to ride with another player.

Old Ad-dons: so many old ad-don mods probably wont update anymore so it would be cool if you could add some stuff from them there are 2 mods which would really fit into Thaumcraft i mean: Thaumic dyes:wich would be very cool especially because it would add much to the crimson cult and eldritch with its armors.

Tainted Magic:which i think will fit well because at the moment its seems like the eldritch part of the mod is under construction and this ad-don is all about dark magic.(i also really like the fortress blades).

The only mods I know of that add properly modeled shields are the CoFH Thermal suite, redstone arsenal and the betweenlands.

Horse armor and saddles I really cant see happening, but I do think a proper fortress shield would be an excellent addition.

Immersive Engineering has a shield

I installed a mod called "Spartan Shields". Well made in my opinion, adds a shield for each material tier as well as integrating other mods.
