You touch a willing creature who isn’t wearing armor. Until the spell ends, the target’s base AC becomes 13 plus its Dexterity modifier. The spell ends early if the target dons armor.

Posted Sep 6, 2024Does using a shield add to your AC bonus and/or end the spell early?

Posted Sep 12, 2024So the main difference is just not being able to dismiss the spell at will as an action? Oh and it's available for wizards twice

Posted Sep 20, 2024You have to have Shield Armour Training to gain the benefits from a shield and it does fall under the armour section in the 2024 PHB so I would sadly say that it will end this spell early yes.

“anyone can don armor or hold a shield” (need training)
On same page “wear one suit of armor or wield only One shield at a time”
seems to still work with mage armor (shield) if proficient

Posted Oct 7, 2024The spell also says that 'The spell ends early if the target dons armor.' and to me the rules are saying that a shield is armor so it would end if you were to don the shield.
I am not a fan of it and I may allow a shield and mage armor at my table but if you are doing 2024 RAW then no.
