By using this spell, the priest creates a shimmering aura of whirling light that surrounds the chosen creature. This protective aura makes the spell recipient more difficult to hit in hand-to-hand combat by providing a +1 Deflection bonus to armor class. Against missile attacks or ranged spells directly targeted at the recipient, the spell provides a +2 Deflection bonus to armor class and a +2 bonus to saving throws. In addition, there is a chance that missile attacks or directed spells may be deflected or reflected by the chaotic energy of the shield, as shown below;
d% + caster level | Effect |
