Sonic Shield Song creates a shield made from pure air, wielded in the left hand. The base enchant of the shield is +10 (2x), and is increased by +1 for every two Bard Base circle ranks, up to a maximum bonus of +35; essentially a 7x shield. Because the spell rank bonus includes the initial 8 ranks prior to learning the spell, and the spell itself, a Sonic Shield will actually be +15 when the spell is learned (the bonus is also rounded up). Additionally, the bonus provided by spell ranks is not capped at level.
Training in Shield Use is required for a bard to be successful in using a Sonic Shield, just as it is required to generate defense with a normal shield.
The default shield size sung is a medium size, but other sizes (small, medium, large, and tower) may also be sung.
All Sonic Shields weigh 1/10 of a pound (16 coins), meaning the bard will be less encumbranced than with a normal shield. A Sonic Shield may be worn for up to 60 seconds before it dissipates.

Lore Benefit
Training in Elemental Lore, Air reduces the shield hindrance penalty when evading an attack. Starting at 20 ranks, a Sonic Shield will be considered one size smaller for hindrance purposes. While at 50 ranks, the Sonic Shield will be considered 2 sizes smaller. And finally, at 100 ranks, a Sonic Shield will be considered to be three sizes smaller. Essentially, this means that a bard with 100 ranks of Air Lore could use a sonic tower shield and only receive the hindrances associated with a small shield.
