When this spell is cast, an invisible barrier comes into being in from of the
magic-user. This Magic Shield totally negates Magic Missile attacks. It provides
the equivalent protection of AC 2 against hand-hurled missiles (axes,
darts, javelins, spears, etc.), AC 3 against small device-propelled missiles
(arrows, bolts, bullets, manticore spikes, sling stones, etc.), and AC 4 against
all other forms of attack. The shield also adds a +1 bonus to the magic-user's
saving throws against attacks that are basically frontal. Note that these benefits
apply only if the attacks originate from in front of the magic-user, where the
shield can move to interpose itself.
