Shield Spell Reinforcement [free-action] Feat 4Archetype Spellshape Source Battlecry! pg. 68Archetype War MageClass WizardPrerequisites War Mage Dedication; you can cast the
shield cantrip
Requirements You are wielding a shield.
You can empower your defensive magic by channeling it through a physical shield. If your next action is to cast the
shield cantrip, you use your shield as a locus to cast the spell, raising a magical barrier in the form of a large force projection of your worn shield. You can choose for an adjacent ally to gain the benefits of the
shield spell instead of yourself. If the ally would take damage from a physical attack while protected by your shield cantrip, you can use your reaction to
Shield Block with the spell on their behalf.
Traits
Archetype: This feat belongs to an archetype.
Spellshape: Actions with the spellshape trait tweak the properties of your spells. You must use a spellshape action directly before casting the spell you want to alter. If you use any action (including free actions and reactions) other than casting a spell directly after, you waste the benefits of the spellshape action. The benefit is also lost if your turn ends before you cast the spell. Any additional effects added by a spellshape action are part of the spell's effect, not of the spellshape action itself.
