| - | Creates a shield which is effectively a small ''Prismatic Wall'' that floats adjacent to his off-hand. Other than its size and mobility, the shield is identical to the Spell in effect. The Swordmage may make a Reflex save against any effect blocked by a ''Prismatic Wall'' to position the shield correctly so that it does, in fact, block the effect. If the effect is one of those that negates a layer of a ''Prismatic Wall'', it does so to the shield as well. Further, physical attacks that involve entering the Swordmage's space trigger the effect on the attacker as if they had walked through a ''Prismatic Wall''. | + | Creates a shield which is effectively a small ''Prismatic Wall'' that floats adjacent to his off-hand.

In addition, as an attack action (either as part of the original casting of the Incantation or as a second attack action taken later), the Swordmage may perform a bash with the shield as a touch attack. This attack does not deal physical damage, but if it hits, the Swordmage may roll 1d8 three times and apply the effects rolled on the table below. Repeats, including repeat 8's, are rerolled. | In addition, as an attack action (either as part of the original casting of the Incantation or as a second attack action taken later), the Swordmage may perform a bash with the shield as a touch attack.
