{{name}} is a [[cybernetic]] implant which grants the user an 8% chance to [[refract]] [[Damage#Light|light-based attacks]]. The bonus from skin glitter like other sources of refraction does not directly stack with any other, even from another installed skin glitter. Instead, each individual source of refraction is calculated separately, meaning that two implanted skin glitters will not give a single 16% chance of refraction but two 8% chances.
