In addition to a pact weapon, you have been granted the power to bind and summon a shield. You may use your action to summon a shield into your empty hand; you may choose to summon both your pact shield and your pact weapon at the same time.
Your pact shield disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the shield (no action required), or if you die.
Additionally, you can transform one magic shield into your pact shield by performing a special ritual while you hold the shield. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the shield, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact shield thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient shield in this way. The shield ceases being your pact shield if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different shield, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The shield appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
