Wait - what trap? Never mind.
I, seeing that my Steel Knights may be threatened (Though I sincerely doubt this), make two small alterations. Firstly, I establish a mental and arcane link between myself and all Steel Knights. I can sever this at will, obviously. This allows me to, essentially, inhabit any Steel Knight, at any time (Or, with some concentration, multiple Steel Knights. There's a knack to it). It also allows me to channel magic through them and bolster their magical reserves.
Secondly, I refine their personal shield to also absorb kinetic energy, and tranfer it in the form of arcane energy to the Steel Knight.
@Duskling: As long as you do not in any way oppose me or interfere with my business, I will not attack you.
