The necromancer 'bone shield' spell is one of the first of the necromancer 'teeth' spells, which use teeth as spell focii for casting. For bone shield, the caster uses a tooth and some of the caster's blood. Shields can be made for other players, but bone shields remain bound to their owner and cannot be used by others.
These shields are known for their ability to defend against breath weapons, and are also said to lend the wearer an unusual measure of endurance.
Bone Shield is in the same family of spells as Bone Blade, but acts differently in a few important ways:
- Bone Shield cannot be targeted and is immediately bound to the caster
- The stats of the shield depend entirely on Necromancer Cast Level, whereas Bone Blade's resulting weapon differs based on the target's strength
- The resulting shield requires only 11 strength, whereas Bone Blade requires (target's strength − 1)
They are similar in that all bone item spells require teeth to cast and will eventually disappear.
A Bone Shield will identify similarly to this (values changing based on cast level). Bone Shield's main selling point is its massive HP boost as well as bonuses to Breath, Poison, and Spell resistance.

Note: Bone Shield creates a very powerful shield and can sometimes result in an item so powerful it's labeled a RELIC. This is offset by its limited duration and being untradeable.
