This spell creates a shimmering, magical field around a touched shield. As the horse symbolizes readiness, the shield’s wielder gains a +5 bonus on initiative rolls for the duration of the spell. In addition, the wielder retains her Dexterity bonus to Armor Class even if caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker, as the rogue’s uncanny dodge ability.

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.
