Desirability

Despite first appearances, this item is actually incredibly dangerous to use. The noises it makes are much worse than shouting or the Singing Sword; they attract every monster on the level to your position. Combined with the fact that the guardian spirit attribute renders considerably less useful for casters, who have crowd control spells, it is very difficult to imagine a character who would find this shield safe and usable.
