Magic shield properties grant the wearer special abilities while the shield is equipped.  These abilities vary greatly, and can be quite powerful.
See [[Crafting Magic Shields]] for full details on costs, creation, and limitations of magic shields.
 
A magic shield cannot have any magic shield properties applied to it unless it has at least a +1 Enhancement bonus also applied to it.  For example, you cannot make a heavy steel shield with the +2 magic shield property of Lesser Energy Warding unless it has at least a +1 enhancement bonus.  No shield may be enchanted with Epic magic shield properties unless it has an Enhancement bonus of at least +6.
 
No more than a total of +5 worth of magic properties (the sum of all pluses of all properties applied) can be enchanted onto a shield if the wielder is level 20 or less.  A maximum of +9 worth of magic properties is possible if the character is at least level 21.
 
'''Important Note:''' If a character has more than one item equipped which provides magic shield properties, only the item with the highest enhancement bonus actually provides benefits to the wearer (in the event they are the same, the wearer may choose which item functions and which is dormant). The lesser item's magic shield properties provide no benefits whatsoever, even if they are 'always on' abilities, unless the greater item is stowed away.
