Arcane spirit shield

The Arcane spirit shield was released on 15 September 2008 along with Summer's end. It requires 75 Defence, 70 Prayer and 65 Magic to wield. The shield is made by attaching an Arcane sigil to a Blessed spirit shield. To do this, players need 90 Prayer and 85 Smithing.

The shield gives slightly better defence bonuses than the Dragon sq shield, but its Crush defence is significantly higher. This shield also gives the best Magic offence bonus of all other shields and/or books in RuneScape. Previously that title belonged to the Mage's book, which has five less Magic offence.

It is the only Spirit shield to give a magic attack bonus. It also has the highest defensive bonus of any shield slot item that gives an offensive magic bonus.
