This small shield is designed to be lightweight and easy to don. Worn as a pauldron when not in use, it takes only a shrug of the shoulder to slide the shield into position and magically expand it to its full size. That said, it can be cumbersome to get back onto one's shoulder.
You may don this shield in combat as a free action, so long as your hand is free. To put the shield back onto one's shoulder during combat, however, takes one full turn (movement, action, and bonus action.)
The rarity of this item varies, from Uncommon to Rare. The rare variant of this item takes only a bonus action to return it to one's shoulder, rather than a full turn.
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.
