Fixing editing mishap. I'm trusting the far better updated Major Shield page in regards to the mounted pewter shield casting penalty.

Ksielvin: Rewrote this heavily outdated page with a strong recommendation for the small leather shield that is mentioned on the Major Shield page.

Recent changes to [[Major Shield]] mean that it is easier to perform Major Shield if you are using an "actual shield" as the component. This is in contrast to many other types of "shields" that are still considered shields by the ritual, but are not usable in combat as shields. The shields in question are:
* Paper shield; lightest, but incurs a difficulty penalty when performing Major Shield.
* Mounted pewter shield; moderate weight ("about two pounds") and has no effect upon Major Shield's difficulty. Can be bought for 300 DjToon in the Djelibeybi bazaar.
* Normal combat shields; much heavier, but give a difficulty bonus when performing Major Shield.

 The ritual also accepts other "shields" as component but with a significant penalty to the effective casting bonus. This will make the ritual harder to cast and give weaker result. These include at least:
-* Mounted pewter shield; moderate weight ("about two pounds") and has no effect upon Major Shield's difficulty. Can be bought for 300 DjToon in the Djelibeybi bazaar.
+* Mounted pewter shield; moderate weight ("about two pounds"). Can be bought for 300 DjToon in the Djelibeybi bazaar.

+Shields come in many shapes and sizes. The lightest real shield (usable to block) is the small leather shield (2 lb) that is [http://daftjunk.com/dw/items/index.php?item=6784 widely and cheaply available] around the Circle Sea region. This makes it an ideal component for the ritual. Custom shields that may not be much heavier and could be much fancier looking (including optionally the symbol of your god) can be ordered from Ug Ogg in Djelibeybi. The lightest one is probably the small leather diamond shield (2 3/9 lb) that was made out of "inferior" grade leather for testing.
