Mordenkainen's Faithful Phantom Shield-Maidens (Wizard Spell)

This spell summons a pair of shimmering violet phantom beings that will stay on either side of the wizard and protect him from all at­tackers.
The shield-maidens stay close enough to the caster for their shields to help cover the wizard. The shield of one maiden will provide the caster with a +1 Armor Class bonus. If both shield-maidens protect the same side of the caster with their shields, the Armor Class bonus is +2. While the shield-maidens can protect the caster from at­tacks from different directions, they will move no farther than 50 feet away from the caster, even if the wizard orders them to move away. They follow magically wherever the caster goes.
The material components are a pair of small crystal shields tied with string to a miniature wooden figure of the caster.
Notes: Uncommon or rare spell (WoG).
