A shield, meaning for offensive casting/bashing. The shield is a golden color decorated with phoenix feathers that can't be damaged. The shield itself is similar to a kite shield. It's front is embroidered with a black dragon's head resting on the universal representation of how 'Zakaria' might look. 

 The artifact itself can be leveled up, allowing different abilities to unlock as it does.

Level 3 - The shield can allow the user to be able to cast a spell while also bashing. Shield bashing and spell casting are one action. 

Level 4 - The shield aligns to the user's strongest element at the time and grants a 5-25% increase in defense of the strongest element, while only granting a 1-5% increase to other physical/magical elements. In order to get the max effect of the shield, you must 'feed' the black dragon's head meat or bones, regardless of race. The values decrease every 5 in game hours, strongest effect by 5%, minor effect by 1%. The shield can only receive a single feeding, 1lbs, once an hour. 

Level 5 - Unique effect - Zakaria's love. Grants the user wings made of fire that can either allow flight for five seconds, or boosts damage of a single attack/spell by 10-20% based on feedings.

Rubies - Flame blessing - Immunity to fire for five turns.

Emerald - Air blessing - Immunity to wind based magics for five turns.

Diamond - Earth blessing - Stone held or thrown becomes hard as diamond.

Obsidian - Zakaria’s Blessing - Cast a spell of ‘primordial flame’ that deals 2d10 damage to an opponent, and inflicts burning regardless of fire immunity.

Other unspecified Stones - Increase damage of spell/shield bash by 5% for a single attack action.
