Description

This small shield appears flimsy to a trained eye, but anyone wearing it will find that it is in fact quite sturdy despite its appearance. It is light in weight and easy to direct against attacks aimed at the wearer. Other than these telling signs, the Buckler of Casting gives no other hints as to its magical nature, appearing quite ordinary. If a reveal magic is cast, a faint arcane signature can be seen on the back of the shield.

Lore

Many wizards and sorcerers found that the protection of a small shield that takes little skill to use, while relatively insignificant, could be potentially life saving in the most dire of moments. Because of this, there are a great many more enchanted bucklers to be found among adventurers than larger, heavier shields.
