==Characteristics==

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.

The Power shield has a {{Defence}} bonus of +18 and can be equipped by the {{Hero 2}} and the [[Prince of Cannock]]. When used as a tool in battle, it casts [[Midheal]] on the user, even if they cannot equip it. The shield can be purchased for 21,500 gold from [[Beran]], [[Slewse]], and [[Burrowell]] and sold for 16,125 gold. It is the strongest shield that the Prince of Cannock can equip.
