This spell manifests as a swirling, stormy shield of wind and moisture that blocks sharp gusts of wind, huge waves, driving rain, and all physical projectiles. Anyone sheltered behind a ship shield is protected from physical missiles that attempt to pass through the magical barrier. Such missiles are blocked by the ship shield, losing all their forward velocity and dropping harmlessly to the ground (or into the sea, if applicable). Spell effects are unimpeded by a ship shield unless they physically hurl some sort of matter. Living creatures and self-propelled objects, like ships, can pass through a ship shield in one round.

The material component for this spell is a miniature shield made of metal or carved wood.

Notes: Granted by Valkur, Captain of the Waves, of the Forgotten Realms setting.
