Basic Information and Statistics

Abbreviation: SoC
Base AC: 0
Power weight: 0.2
Primary Effect: For each enhancement (+) the SoC absorbs an average of 0.5% of physical damage received.
Secondary Effect: The absorbed damage can be returned for triple the damage on the next hit if you use a Hammer Class Weapon or Unarmed Combat. (See Strategy and Comments)
No penalties to Direct Damage Spells cast by the wearer.
No penalties to Enchant Offense Spells or to Enchant Defense Spells cast by the wearer.
No penalty to DX and Skills with 1-handed melee weapons.
Negative 12% to DX and Skills with 2-handed melee weapon.
Negative 5 to Unarmed Combat (UC).
The Shield itself does not do the displayed damage, instead it is added to the next hit of the weapon that triggered the flash.
Average past auction price paid for this item: [1]

Durability: [120, 25] (Uses 29 BA / Cycle) 0.94 efficiency
After testing, this ^^ seems to be the sweet spot. Closest alternative was [125*, 25] (31 BA) .883 efficiency

The second effect of this shield can only be used when using Hammer Class Weapons, like the Morgul-Hammer, Mace of Disruption, low-end hammers or Unarmed Combat.
Does not grant AC like the Mithril Shield does.
The absorption is the first damage reduction applied.
Damage taken but absorbed through PL will still charge up the shield.
The damage returned is added into the weapon attack so such modifiers as BL or VA also work with the returned damage.
Since the shield has zero penalties for the magic Spells, it is the perfect shield to stick on an Enchanter or Mage
The effects of the shield can be linked with the Amulet of Junction
