Makes noise whenever you block
Desirability
Despite first appearances, the shield of the gong is actually incredibly dangerous to use. The noise it makes is much louder than shouting or even the Singing Sword; using it will attract everything nearby to your position. Unless you're playing a brute force caster who's already making enough noise to wake the entire Dungeon, it is best to use this shield situationally, such as when facing dangerous sources of electricity damage.
History
Prior to 0.13, the shield of the gong also provided a spirit shield, making it a fairly iffy proposition for casters.
Prior to 0.14, its enchantment was +6, and it did not reduce the wearer's EV.
