EnterTheJake 30305feb24 Balance changes to the Wizard MOD and energy shields. (#91932) ...

## About The Pull Request

Wizard MOD is now bio,flash proof, and comes with the no slips module ,
and the Hilbert DNA lock module installed.

Energy shield charges on the battle shield module have been reduced from
15 to 5 but now regenerate over time.

energy shield charges are now only consumed if at least 3 damage is
dealt to the bubble.


## Why It's Good For The Game

atomization of this PR:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/91702 so I'm just gonna
copypaste the same reasoning.

**Wiz Modsuit changes**

Despite being the Mod given to arguably the highest possible threat a
station should face, this thing is insanely underwhelming.

It doesn't come packaged with even some basic immunities we would grant
to our common antagonists, the charges are limited and once they expire
this suit has nothing to offer besides basic space protection and some
decent armor.

The suit has been rebalanced to offer a wide array of protections and
have the Shield charges regenerate overtime to a maximum of 5, and it no
longer has any slowdown.

You might also want to reconsider using this as crew....

"That's a lot of stuff Jake, won't this make the suit overpowered?"

You can bet your spessman arse it will, Wizard is not supposed to be a
balanced antagonist in any way shape or form, but an absolute force of
chaos.

Given how everything else in the game has been powercept over the Years,
we left this poor dude behind, it's time to address that.

**Energy Shield MOD changes**

I don't think the Shield should expire if no damage (or a pitiful amount
of) hits the bubble, these have already been nerfed to only have 1
charge, it shouldn't require so little firepower (or none of) to
destroy.
