How armor like Steel Wool Boots works

Armor pieces carry no fixed defense number in the game files. What Steel Wool Boots does comes from its effects: rarity sets how many random effects it rolls, its archetypes and slot decide which pools they come from, and a Unique adds a fixed effect. Item power, set by the drop's level, scales the result.
