Overview

A shield exclusive skill that casts one random predefined spell based on the currently equipped Shield's base defense, magic defense, and upgrade level, respectively. Only one spell from Shield Spell can be active at any time. Successfully casting another skill from Shield Spell including offensive ones will override any other Shield Spell buff.

Buffs casted from Shield Spell are not cancelled when the shield is unequipped. It will last for the full duration or until:

• The user is dispelled by Dispell/Battle Chant/Hermode's Rod/Inspiration.
• The user casts another skill from Shield Spell.
• The user dies.

If a player has a shield with, for example, 0 MDEF, equipped, and tries to cast Shield Spell Lv. 2, nothing will happen.
