Don't underestimate how beneficial this spell is. It is especially useful when protecting units of lesser levels or units already with a massive amount of defense.  You'll also be amazed when your hero has over 30-40 defense skill and this spell in effect, how little damage a throng of creatures will do.
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.

Shield is a 1st level spell in the School of Earth Magic. It reduces melee damage done to target allied stack or all allied stacks.

Discussion

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 calculation page.
