This spell creates a shimmering, magical field around a touched shield. As the phoenix symbolizes rebirth, if the shield’s wielder falls in combat, so long as any part of his body touches the shield, he rises again within 1d6 rounds as per the resurrection spell.

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.

Material component: A ruby worth at least 1,000 shillings.
