Quiz's interposing shield performs in much the same way as armour. It is an invisible barrier the size of a medium shield. The barrier acts as a medium shield and lowers the caster's Armour Class by 1 in regard to attacks that it can impose itself upon. The caster does not need to concentrate in order to use the shield.
The shield adds one point to the amount of damage that armour can take before being dispelled. When the armour has been dispelled, the shield vanishes as well.
The material component for the spell is a medium sized metal shield. It is consumed in the casting.
This magic was developed by Quiz, practitioner of the art of illusion. "Rumour has it that I often found myself too encumbered in combat to use anything other than party members for my shields. This did not fare well with certain people, so I created this spell".
