==Trivia==
*This effect is best suited for a subject who is sparsely armored, or equipped in a variety of armor classes. Otherwise, fortifying the appropriate armor skill requires less Magicka to achieve an equal result.
*Shield cannot be used to circumvent the damage reduction cap of seventy-five percent (i.e. regardless of the effect's magnitude or the resulting armor rating, a minimum of twenty-five percent of incoming physical damage will always be inflicted).
*The Nerevarine begins the game with this spell if Alteration is a major skill.

*Frost Shield

==Bugs==
* Shield is subject to the Unarmored bug. If the Nerevarine is not wearing at least one piece of armor, the armor rating added by Shield is ineffective.Unarmored Corrector V01
