An exceptionally-crafted shield etched with arcane runes of defense.

-   +1 AC (+2 total) while equipped.

### Hovering

While held, wielder can use a free action to say the command word and throw the shield.

-   For up to one minute, hovers around its wielder, granting the AC bonus as if it were being held.
-   If wielder is rendered [unconscious](../rules/adventuring.html#unconscious) or killed while hovering, falls to the ground.
-   After 1 minute, returns to one of wielder's hands (or falls to ground if no hands are free).

### Shield of Dancing +2

Same as above except as noted below.

-   +2 AC (+3 total) while equipped.
