Syntax

• SHAPE SHIELD TO <option>

Examples

SHAPE SHIELD TO TARGET

SHAPE SHIELD TO MERAUD

Valid options

• target (small)
• oval (medium)
• tower (large)
• spiked (adds puncture damage)
• blank (without spikes)
• the name of any Immortal (alters appearance)
• custom (alters appearance, requires custom scroll)

Target (small) and oval (medium) options can be worn on the arm. Tower (large) shields will automatically shape to oval when worn.

Custom designs

Custom scrolls have been sold at various festival shops (e.g. See The Light) or are available as part of quest loot (e.g. Salt-stained vellum scroll). When you SHAPE SHIELD TO CUSTOM, your shield will take on the appearance set in the last scroll you studied.

These custom scrolls bind to the user when you STUDY them. Once a scroll has been studied by one cleric, another cleric cannot study them to learn the pattern. The scroll is not destroyed, however, allowing you to collect multiple scrolls with different designs.
