Here's an idea I had, though I don't have the time or skills to create it (so feel free to steal the idea--just let me know so I can get a copy when you do!)

A set of items called the Firesuit

Firesuit--a set of items created and used by a mage whose study often led him into the Plane of Fire. He used these items to protect himself against the attacks of Fire Elementals, as well as to strike back at them. He was undone by a rival who specialized in ice magics.

Boots of Fire Adsorption:
add 20% to Fire Resistance

Gloves of Fire Adsorption:
add 20% to Fire Resistance

Robes of Fire Adsorption:
add 20% to Fire Resistance

Fire Adsorption Hat:
add 20% to Fire Resistance

Amulet of Fire Collection:
This amulet is the Keystone to the Firesuit. Fire energy absorbed from each of the components of the suit is channeled into the amulet. Knowing the folly of fighting fire with fire, the mage who designed the suit found a way to convert the fire energy into basic magical energy.
add 20% to Fire Resistance
1 charge: Cast Chromatic Orb
1 charge: Cast Magic Missile

The amulet is charged by adsorbing fire energy. For every 10 spell levels of fire adsorbed, the amulet gains one charge. Magical fire attacks (such as the Fire elementals attack, or MMM) count as 1 spell level per hit.

If parts of the Firesuit are missing, the energy absorbed is reduced by 20% per missing piece.


---I don't know if the game engine allows charging an item based on attacks or spell levels, an alternative would be to give 1 charge per day per piece of the suit.
