Clear Bracelet

The Clear Bracelet is a Bracelet found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

Basic Description
The Clear Bracelet increases the wearer's defense by 31 points and their Mercury power by 25 points. It can be bought for 3500 coins and sold for 2625 coins.

The Clear Bracelet can be obtained by giving a Tear Stone to Sunshine, which he will forge into one of 4 items determined at random. The player must then buy the Clear Bracelet from him. Being a Bracelet, it can be equipped by Jenna, Ivan, Sheba, and Mia.

Analysis
The Clear Bracelet, like the Pure Circlet, may seem underwhelming at first, even though it provides more raw defense than all previous equipment, given that the two mage adepts that you have in the party, Jenna and Sheba, don't have any Mercury Psynergy by default. However, the Clear Bracelet can be used, sometimes alongside the Circlet, to boost the strength of the powerful Mercury aligned weapons that you can get in the Great Eastern Sea, like the Glower Staff or the Mist Sabre. It is also very useful if you change them to a Mercury aligned class series, like the Swordsman or the Hermit, making their Mercury healing and damaging options stronger.

The Bracelet can also prove valuable later in the game, at which point Ivan and Mia can also equip it, as there is no armwear that increases Mercury power more than the Clear Bracelet. This will allow an Adept, if they are in a class that can access the Wish series, to cast Pure Wishes that heal 100 more HP, thanks to the power boost. When combined with equipment that can also regenerate PP like the Psychic Circlet and the Iris/Mysterious Robe, the Adept can use Pure Wish without fear of running out of Psynergy Points and keep the whole party at high health, which more than makes up for the Clear Bracelet's low defensive abilities.
