'''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, since the bonus is rounded up. Additionally, the bonus provided by spell ranks '''is not''' capped at level. |

== General Info == |
|||
While singing the '''Sonic Shield Song''' the [[Bard]] is able to create 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 [[Bard Base|spellsong]]s known, stopping at a maximum bonus of +35; essentially a 7x shield. |
|||
* Note that the bonus conferred is for ''every'' [[Bard Base|spellsong]] known--including the first eight and this one--rather than "all known ''above this one''", as so many other spells calculate; further note that rounding works. This means that a Bard who first learns this [[Bard Base|spellsong]] will summon a<br> +10 + (9/2) == +10 + 4.5 == +10 +5 == +15 shield. |
|||
* Yet furthermore, [[Bard Base|spellsong]]s known ''above'' the Bard's [[level]] '''do''' count; this again is different from how spells frequently work. |
|||
Training in [[Shield Use]] for the Bard is required to be successful with using a sonic shield, just as it is required to generate [[DS|defense]] with a normal shield. |

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, since the bonus is rounded up. Additionally, the bonus provided by spell ranks is not capped at level.
Training in Shield Use for the Bard is required to be successful with 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). This can provide a benefit to the bard's encumbrance.

Lore Benefit
Training in Elemental Lore, Air reduces the shield hindrance penalty when evading an attack. Starting at 20 ranks, the bard's shield will be considered one size smaller for hindrance purposes. While at 50 ranks, the shield will be considered 2 sizes smaller. And finally, at 100 ranks, the Bard's 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.
