This spell creates a shimmering, magical field around a touched shield. As the sphinx symbolizes knowledge, the shield’s wielder gains a +4 competence bonus on his next Intelligence check or Intelligence-based skill check.

A person can benefit from a heraldry spell only while using the affected shield; carrying it or wearing it across one’s back is not enough. A shield can hold only one heraldry spell at any given time. If multiple heraldry spells are cast on the same shield, only the most recently cast applies.
