==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
The design of the power shield has stayed very consistent throughout all games it has appeared. It is a round shield with golden edges and a blue gem in its center surrounded by silver. The silver section in the center of the shield has four bird insignias in each cardinal direction, as well as four smaller insignias between each one. Within the gold outer edges of the shield, there is another section with alternating studs and lined ridges that encircle the layer. The inner section of the shield was the same golden color as the outer edge of the shield in earlier games, but in later games it is bronze.

The center of the shield is silver and has a blue gemstone in the center. The silver section in the center of the shield has four bird insignias in each cardinal direction, as well as four smaller insignias between each one. The section surrounding the center has alternating studs and lined ridges.
*There is an alternate design for the power shield from the Tokuma Strategy Guide for the NES version of ''Dragon Quest IV''. It is made of green metal and has a red gemstone at the center of the shield. The shield has a silver border and splits the center of the shield into three sections.
*The design from ''Dragon Quest VIII'' is mostly the same, but the section surrounding the silver center is now bronze instead of gold.
It is a high-level shield that either casts [[Midheal]] or restores a moderate amount of HP to the wielder when used as a tool in battle. The shield tends to be reserved for characters and vocations who can equip heavier armour, but it can still be useful as a free healing method even for characters who cannot equip it. In the ''HD-2D Remake'' games, it is possible to target any character in the party to restore their HP.
