This shield is made from the remnants of advanced Warforged and Eliksni technology. It has a rune burned into its outward-facing side showing only when deployed, otherwise it appears as a odd, technological imbued, chunky bracelet. A character who examines the rune and succeeds on a DC 20 Intelligence (History) check recognizes it as an Infernal script (“For my friend, my family ” in a stylized, almost calligraphy inspired font) these runes that confers great trust and power.
While holding the shield, you benefit from the following properties.
Insulation Build. You are immune to lightening damage.
Delilah’s Spark. A dedicated offensive minded generator lights a brilliant flash of lightening as a backup tactical measure, but is not quick to recharge due to its intensity.
Counterspell. You can cast the Counterspell spell from the shield (one time per day). Once you cast the spell from the shield, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
But wait, there’s more...! You can transfer the shield’s magic to a nonmagical weapon by tracing the runic script on the weapon with one finger. The transfer takes 8 hours of work that requires the two items to be within 5 feet of each other. At the end, the shield is destroyed, and the rune is etched or burned into the chosen weapon. This weapon becomes a rare magic item that requires attunement. It has the properties of a +1 weapon. The bonus increases to +3 when the weapon is used against one of the following creature types, chosen by you at the time of the magic weapon’s creation: aberrations, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, or undead.
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.
