Lesser Energized Shield
Caster Level(s): Paladin 1 Innate Level: 2 School: Abjuration Descriptor(s): Component(s): Verbal, Somatic Range: Touch Area of Effect / Target: Shield touched Duration: 1 round/level Save: None Spell Resistance: No

When this spell is cast, the shield touched appears to be made entirely out of one type of energy (fire, cold, electricity, acid, or sonic). Whoever bears the shield gains resistance 5 against the chosen energy type. Additionally, if the wielder is hit with an attack, the attacker takes 1d4 points of the appropriate energy damage. The energy type must be chosen when the spell is cast and cannot be changed during the duration of the spell. The energy resistance overlaps (and does not stack) with resist elements. A given shield cannot be the subject of more than one lesser energized shield or energized shield spell at the same time.
