Strange question about living plate

[DoctaDajman]

Can you will the plate to assemble itself underneath your clothing? Or parts of your clothing?  

Take a stoneward for instance, he wears around a large sash or two like kilts... he wants the armor to cover his clothing when it appears from the cognitive realm but he also wants the freedom to use those sashes for tension things... can the armor tell the difference or is this all tied to his perception of how it should form?

I think he can, but it will take some practice, if what we see of Shallan is any indication.

E.g. it first formed with her satchel inside, then formed with satchel outside but cut the straps (I think?), and finally it formed with some way to attach it.

So you likely can get that, but you have to work for it a bit.

Thanks for this. Good to know!
