==== {{Anchor|Spell Shield}} {{Su}} ====
Spell shields do not stop damage in the way normal shields do. Instead, they absorb incoming spells. Whenever a creature or object protected by a spell shield is targeted by a harmful spell, the spell is reduced to its base components upon touching the shield, converting it to raw energy that deals 5 damage to the shield per converted spell level. Spells that create area effects are only absorbed for the creature or within the area that a spell shield protects. If a creature with a personal shield has [[SRD:Spell Resistance and Spell Immunity#Spell Resistance|spell resistance]], the spell shield takes effect against a spell only if the creature fails to resist it. Spells that do not allow spell resistance are not absorbed by a spell shield.
Spells absorbed by a spell shield deal 1 extra point of damage per spell level if the spellcaster has the [[SRD:Spell Penetration|Spell Penetration]] feat, and 2 extra points of damage per spell level if the spellcaster has the [[SRD:Greater Spell Penetration|Greater Spell Penetration]] feat.
