Shield

The basic, Dragon, Jewel, Mirror, and Spiked Shield, as well as the Arctic Aegis and Malevolent Maw, are items. They share an item slot. (Consider all of them to be Shield variants.)

Passive Effect

 * If you are alive, Sword, Swordfish, Serrated Shiv, Wooden Stake, Sanctified Stake, and all variants of Bow & Arrows fail to affect you if used standardly or with Power Gloves against you.
 * Demon Sword will fail to kill you if used standardly or with Power Gloves against you. Instead, either you will be sent 4-8 spaces back, the Demon Sword user will be sent 4-8 spaces forward, or the Shield will be destroyed. (The Shield destruction can only occur while you are alive.)
 * The Let Me Axe You Something! event's penalty will not kill you.

Item Combining

 * Any Shield + Volatile Oil + Azure Bracelet = Arctic Aegis
 * Any Shield + Dragonskin = Dragon Shield
 * Any Shield + Lovely Crystal + Night Crystal + Happy Crystal = Jewel Shield
 * Any Shield + Demonic Ritual Stone = Malevolent Maw
 * Any Shield + Broken Glass + Dark Crystal + Fairy Crystal = Mirror Shield

Standard Use

 * You can lower your Shield to stop its additional effects. If you die with a raised Shield, it is lowered, stopping the effects. Its effects also stop if it is removed from your inventory.
 * Raising puts the Shield on cooldown. Lowering doesn't put a Shield on cooldown, but it cannot be done if a Shield is currently on cooldown.

Other Item Use

 * ACME Magnet; In addition to attracting the Shield, it has a chance to Incapacitate you.

Standard Use

 * Raise your Shield, passively losing 2 temporary Speed and gaining Algid Revenge and Frostfire Protection.
 * Algid Revenge: Freezes the weapon used to attack you for 10 turns when activated. It can be activated by being hit by a Sword, Demon Sword, Wooden Stake, Sanctified Stake, Serrated Shiv, (Holy) Hammer, Hammerhead Shark, or Drunkard's Bar.
 * If the Shield is destroyed by a Demon Sword, Algid Revenge does NOT activate.
 * Frostfire Protection: If an item you have would be burned (or thawed by an effect which normally burns), it instead gains 5 turns of Frozen.
