The offensive options of a shield are limited to using it to bash opponents, but this could be augmented by Alchemizing one with spikes or sharpened edges. The usual defense techniques of a shield depends on its design, with bigger and heavier shields being more inclined for blocking attacks head on, and smaller and lighter shields more suited to pushing away and redirecting an attacks momentum.

From the medieval metal shields discarded by warriors once they became too expensive to craft and use, to the advanced fare of small hard-light constructed barriers, to the legendary shields of old capable of matching and besting any fortress in protective ability, all these fall under the Shieldkind Abstratus. Shieldkind covers the use of variously sized and weighed plated of material (often metal or wood) to either harm or protect. ![]()
