Sculk Ward

The only protection against infection:

• While worn: infection cannot grow from any source
• Infected mobs refuse to target you
• You become a ghost in the epidemic

Applied to armor via anvil. Does not prevent existing infection from progressing — only stops new growth. Wear it before stage 5.
