Infusion — see Artifice for the rules and the Infusion List for the full list.

By applying this infusion, the concoctor imbues a shield (or other circular wooden or metallic object of roughly the same size) with a powerful aegis. All mundane weapon attacks, missile or melee, against anyone in a 5’ radius of the object are deflected, automatically missing. Ranged attacks with area effects will roll for scatter but may not end up within 5’ of the Aegis. It is possible that protected characters will still end up within the area of such effects and suffer any consequences.

Attacks made with silver weapons are considered extraordinary for the purposes of this spell. A character need not be proficient with shields or the weapon and shield fighting style to benefit from this infusion, carrying the shield as an object is sufficient (though it will not grant any other bonuses if not actually used as a shield).

This effect ends immediately if the infused object is dropped or set down.
