Shield Spell Effects

These are all of the known spell effects that can be found on a shield.

Absorb

Absorption Absorbs 2-12% damage, 20% chance

Armor Bonus

These effects add armor rating to a shield. Multiple bonuses to the same shield do not stack, and higher effects will override lower ones.

Bleeding

These effects apply a bleed damage over time. This damage stacks with fire effects. Most of these effects stack with zealot bleeds, but not always player skills.
Profuse Bleeding 2-8 damage per second, over 60 seconds. (Bloodletting Shield)

Combat Delay

These effects reduce the combat delay stat of a shield, making it faster. They do not stack with each other.
Jet Mirra Essence -10 combat delay

Damage Bonus

These effects add to shield damage. They stack with Emblem of Might, but not each other.
Bone Splitter +2-3 damage
Flesh Ripper +4-7 damage
Soul Render +8-11 damage

Damage Variance

These effects raise the minimum damage on a shield, thereby increasing their average damage potential. They do not stack with each other.
Keen Edge Lowers damage variance by 6% for 5 hours.

Fellowship Buffs

These effects affect the user and their entire fellowship, and stack with all other effects unless otherwise noted.
Moon-Rays +110 vigor (Moon-Ray Shield)

Requirement Reduction

These effects reduce the wield requirement of the item. Splendor will override Grace, but will stack with Mystique.
Grace -1 level
Splendor -2 levels
Mystique Reduced arcane lore requirement

Vigor Cache

This effect casts a buff on the wielder which reduces vigor used for skills. It does not stack with a similar spell on a weapon or piece of armor. These spells typically will not reduce a skill's cost below half of its base cost.
Beryl Mirra Essence -30 vigor cost
