Unlike spells like [[Stone Skin]] that affect [[Defense]], Shield directly multiplies the total damage by 70% (or 85% for Basic). (See the [[Damage#Damage calculation of creature stacks|damage calculation]] page for details.)  Since Defense is somewhat more complicated, it's hard to directly compare its effects, but a very rough estimate is that Shield is worth about 10 (5 for Basic) extra points of Defense.  <!-- Depending on the difference between defense and attack, it can grow from 5 to 12 to 8 to 12 again, and even higher for very high attack. -->
Although the description of the spell states, that it reduces 30 % (or 15 %) of the damage delivered to a creature stack, it is not entirely correct. This is due to a fact that there are also other factors affecting the damage recieved from the hand-to-hand combat. For more information, see [[Damage#Damage calculation of creature stacks|damage calculation]] page.
 
30% melee damage reduction is equivalent to 15 bonus defence, considering 25 defence is cutting damage in half and 25 attack is doubling the damage.
