Des's Shield of Shadows

Weaving the threads of shadow, you create a solidified shield of gloom in your hand. This magical shield lasts until the spell ends. While the shield is held, you gain a +2 to your AC.

The shield can be dropped, to allow the use of the hand holding it for other purposes. When released, the shield disapates. The shield can be recalled with a bonus action while the spell is still in effect.

While holding this shield in darkness, any attacks against you are made with disadvantage.
