During this time he will be vulnerable to all attacks and other red bulbs, but also able to use shield (if any) as well as receive any benefits from other bulbs that come into contact with him *It is not possible to collect shields while in shield mode. I.e. Fëanor can only collect shields while unshielded. * As you get nearer to the intersection of the trees, chances increase to receive Capacity Increase, Shield and High Jump increases, etc. Conversely, chances of getting killed also increases. *Fëanor's enemy, Melkor, will appear from time to time and take away lives if he catches Fëanor.
