The shield also protects the wizard from biting insects, foul weather, and poisonous gases. However, the wizard is unable to make physical contact with anything outside (but not under) the shield for the duration of the spell. The spell may be broken at will. The shield provides total invulnerability to magic missile, power bolt, word of power, magic darts, mystic bolt, and arcane bolt. The material component for this spell is a small shield.
