The '''Magic shield''' is a shield in the series.


The '''Magic Shield''' is a recurring shield in the ''Dragon Quest'' series. It is designed to guard against harmful magic and elemental damage.
==Characteristics==
In Japanese, the magic shield is known by two different names: マジックシールド (''Majikku shīrudo''), written in hiragana and only appearing in ''Dragon Quest V'' and its remakes, and まほうのたて (''Mahō no tate''), which is used for all of its other appearances. However, even in the Japanese Official Guide Books, both shields are known as Magic Shield in English.
*The original design from ''Dragon Quest V'' is a round buckler made of reddish-purple metal with a gold border and a yellow gemstone at its center. There are various magical symbols inscribed in gold and black throughout the shield.
*The design from ''Dragon Quest VIII'' is very similar, but the shield is now in an oval shape and in a lighter purple colour with a blue gemstone.
The magic shield is designed to protect the wielder from attack spells and is lightweight, allowing it to be equipped by various magical vocations. In later games, the shield also grants a small bonus to the wielder's spellcasting capabilities.
