This ornate shield is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, bearing the radiant motifs of Solara. The face of the shield is polished to a mirror sheen, reflecting light with an intensity that seems almost supernatural. Around its edge, intricate engravings depict the sun in various stages, from dawn's first light to the golden hues of sunset. The shield's rim is adorned with golden filigree, giving it an aura of regality.

Upon closer inspection, one might notice the faint, ever-moving shimmer across its surface, as if the sun's rays are trapped within, eagerly waiting to burst forth. The back of the shield is reinforced with padded leather for comfort, and the grip is wrapped in white cloth, stained from the battles it has seen.

In the right light, especially when the sun is at its zenith, the shield seems to glow, casting luminous reflections that dance and play. It's not just a tool of defense but a symbol of hope, a beacon against the encroaching darkness.

• Solar Reflection: Once per day, when you are targeted by a spell, you can use your reaction to reflect the spell back at its caster, as if under the effect of the spell turning feature of the Ring of Spell Turning.

• Blinding Flash: Once per short rest, you can use an action to angle the shield to catch the sunlight, emitting a blinding flash. Creatures within a 30-foot cone originating from you must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of their next 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.
