Juniper: Can confirm that it is learned at level 79 in fa.ri.de, just did it a few minutes ago by incremental advancement in skills :)

Provides a powerful defensive shield

__TOC__

= Description =
Probably the most used ritual by priests. This ritual covers the target in a protective layer of shielding which soaks up damage. It is effectively a complete covering of armour which weighs nothing. Unfortunately it is not very good against specials, but can soak up a large amount of base round damage at high bonuses. It can also be extended by "stacking". For example, if casting the ritual once leads to a 2 minute duration, casting it 4 times in a row stacks it to an 8 minute duration. The duration of a major shield after a single perform seems to be equal to your bonus, in seconds. (360 bonus -> 6 minutes). It can be extended with [[Minor Shield]], however this will weaken the major shield and is not recommended. It's better to use the stacking method as mentioned. Extending it with another Major Shield performed with greater penalties or fewer bonuses, or by someone with a lower bonus will also weaken it, though it's unknown exactly how much.

You need a shield to perform the ritual. The origami paper shield at 1/9lb is currently the lightest, but there is a penalty from using it in that your major shield will be harder to perform, weaker in strength and shorter in duration. A mounted pewter shield is the next lightest and has the same or similar penalty. A "proper" shield, although heavier (the lightest is a small leather shield, at 2 lbs), does not have the penalty. Other than the effects mentioned here, the type of shield has no effect whatsoever on the ritual.

Each deity has a different appearance of major shield, coming in at least 2 types depending on the strength.
* [[Pishe]]: Layer of translucent fog, Blanket of fog
* [[Gufnork]]: Layer of fluff
* [[Gapp]]: Translucent cloth robe
* [[Sandelfon]]: Wall of dust, Ethereal wall
* [[Fish]]: Slimy seaweed cloak
* [[Hat]]: Translucent feathers
* [[Sek]]: Crackling flames, Bright crimson flames

If you have a magical impact shield, that will always absorb hits first, with the major shield only having any effect after it has been destroyed.

= Help File =

Major Shield will place a protective shield around you that acts as a layer of armour against blows. It provides significantly more protection than the [[Minor Shield]] ritual. You'll need a holy symbol consecrated to your god and a shield to perform this ritual.

= Example =
> perform major shield on me
You speak a short prayer.
You call upon Fish to protect yourself.
You are protected by the power of Fish.

Juniper: Changed minor shield to fa.re.de, the proper skill involved in learning it.

Minor Shield

Juniper: Just confirmed it's faith.rituals.defensive, not fa.ri.de.ta, at least for Fishites.

Provides a defensive shield

__TOC__

= Description =
While not as strong as a major shield, a minor shield can still provide adequate protection for the priest without [[Major Shield]]. The majority of the comments there apply equally to minor shield, it's just a weaker version.

= Help File =

Minor Shield will place a protective shield around the target that acts like light armour. You'll need a holy symbol consecrated to your deity to perform Minor Shield.

= Example =
> perform minor shield on me
You speak a short prayer.
You call upon Gufnork to protect yourself.
You are protected by the power of Gufnork.
