Arcane Armguard

An Arcane Armguard is a magical shield designed to integrate with the forearm of a Warforged. The shield is arcane in nature, and fully concealed within the forearm of the Warforged. When blocking an attack, a glowing blue circle of powerful abjuration magic instantaneously forms a small circular shield on the Warforged's forearm.

If you are a Warforged, you can attach an Arcane Armguard by attuning to it. An attached Arcane Armguard cannot be disarmed or removed from you against your will. You can spend one minute to end the attunement and remove the Arcane Armguard.

Expend one charge of the Arcane Armguard to cast the spell Shield as a reaction to being successfully hit by an attack. An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you, extending from the Arcane Armguard to surround your entire form. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +5 bonus to AC, including against the triggering attack, and you take no damage from magic missile. The Arcane Armguard has two charges of this spell, and these charges once expended, recharge after a long rest.

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.
