Animated Shield of Light

A very thin, light, and reflective round shield, made of very foreign, alien, and unknown metals and alloys.

Light. You can speak its command word and cause it to emanate the light spell. 

Animated. While attuned to and holding this shield, you can speak its command word as a bonus action to cause it to animate. The shield leaps into the air and hovers in your space to protect you as if you were wielding it, leaving your hands free. The shield remains animated for 1 minute, until you use a bonus action to end this effect, or until you are incapacitated or die, at which point the shield falls to the ground or into your hand if you have one free. You can speak another command word as an action to make the shield rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground. The shield hovers in this way until you or another creature grasps it. If you move more than 60 feet from the hovering shield, it follows you until it is within 60 feet of you. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the shield sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive, and its light, if on, winks out.

This shield has 3 charges, for the following properties. It regains 1 charge for every uninterrupted hour it spends in sunlight, or an equivalent, similarly strong, or stronger, source of light, at the DM's discretion.

Spells. You can use an action to expend 1 or more of the shield's charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: daylight (1 charge), or sunbeam (2 charges).

Blindsight. You can also use an action, to expend 2 charges, to gain blindsight out to a range of 30 feet, for up to 10 minutes, while you're attuned to, and holding this shield.

You are considered proficient with this shield even if you lack proficiency with shields. Attuning to this shield also increases your total attunement slots to 4.

Shields require the Utilize action to Don or Doff. You gain the Armor Class benefit of a Shield only if you have training with it.
