Condensation Shield is a level 4 Ice Magic spell which creates a floating disc of icy vapour. This functions like shield without requiring a free hand, adding (8 + 0.6*Ice Magic) to your SH value (max: 24). This is unaffected by your Shields skill, and has the additional limitation of being unable to block any ranged attacks. You cannot cast it while wearing an actual shield, but it does stack with the SH-boosting effects of a Helm card and the Shining One's Divine Shield ability. Condensation Shield's effects will end immediately if you are hit with Fire Magic.
If you character is vulnerable to cold (rC-), Condensation Shield will additionally deal 2-14 cold damage to you per turn.
