Techknight costume?

Here's what I'd suggest:

Add an alternative version of the mace/staff thing that tints the entire body in the primary colour, but colours the electrical sparking aura AND the glowing jewel the secondary colour. This way, you get the static parts one colour and the glowing parts another colour. We have symmetry in logic.

The backpack is also a big problem. It has a large circular glow in the big central area, but this matches the colour of the backpack around it. I'd suggest adding two alternatives of that backpack, but let me explain something first. Currently, the backpack is mostly coloured in its primary colour, with the bulk of the body and the auras being that colour. The small "capsule" auras contrast their background because the capsules take on the secondary colour, but the large "central" aura does not, because it's over the same-colour background. Here's what I'd suggest:

Alternative 1: Have the large aura take on the SECONDARY colour, but leave the three small capsule auras taking the primary colour. That way, you have primary-colour auras in secondary-colour capsules and a secondary-colour aura against the primary-colour backpack body. You have contrast!

Alternative 2: Have the ENTIRE backpack take on JUST the primary colour - capsules, body, trim, everything. Have all of the auras take on the secondary colour. That way, it's less loud and colourful, but you have exact control over the colours, and can the backpack a dark colour without lowing the glow.

Basically, I'm agreeing with the above suggestion - when a costume item comes with an aura or a glowing bit, PLEASE separate the aura/glow in its own colour that doesn't affect anything else on the costume piece but the glow/aura.

And do this to Imperial Defence boot and gloves, please.

If you want a glow that's a separate color from the (boots, for example), then the rest of the boot has to be all one other color. Which would be okay I suppose, but I don't want to be limited to that either. I really like the Imperial Defense boots as they are, and to reduce them to all one color except for the tiny bits that glow would not make me happy.
