Chaos Shield

Chaos Shield is one of the three spells exclusive to the Wild Mage. It increases the odds that the mage will successfully cast the spell they intended in the way they intended even during a wild surge.
There is no scroll for this spell included in the game.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
This spell is applied to the caster only.
After the spell is cast a 3D graphic effect plays over the caster's sprite, and sound effect is audibled.
While the spell is active, the character's portrait will display an icon (No. 163) titled "Chaos Shield".
The spell adjusts the caster's probability of gaining a favorable result when a Wild Surge occurs, by applying a set 15% bonus.
A wild surge bonus of 15 can be thought as a combination of two desirable things:
*It increases the odds to cast the desired spell in the desired way by 15 percentage pointsPercentage point on Wikipedia during a wild surge.
*The spell also effectively lowers the proportion of "bad" surges in the pool of surges that could occur, because the density of bad surges is greater in the lower rows of the wild surge table. Wild surge bonuses always remove lower rows from the mage's pool of possible surges.
Note that this spell won't stack with itself, nor with the Improved Chaos Shield and Robe of Goodman Hayes, as they all set the base value for the mage's wild surge bonus, but don't add to each other in a cumulative manner.
Chaos Shield can be removed by Dispel Magic effects as well as a Breach spell.

Chaos Shield increases a wild mage’s chance to gain a favorable result when a wild surge occurs. Every time a roll is made on the wild surge chart, an extra 15 is added to the dice roll. When Nahal’s Reckless Dweomer is cast, the bonus from Chaos Shield stacks with the wild mage’s level bonus.
