Divine spirit shield

The Divine spirit shield was released on 15 September 2008 along with Summer's end. It requires 75 Defence and 75 Prayer to wield. The shield is made by attaching a Divine sigil to a Blessed spirit shield. To do this, players need 90 Prayer and 85 Smithing. The Knowledge Base states that the Divine spirit shield comes with a special bonus, "30% - or as much as if possible if 30% is more than your current amount of Prayer points - of any damage you take is removed. Half of this 30% is deducted from your Prayer instead, while the other half is ignored completely".

For example, if a person using Dharok's armour and other damage-boosting methods/ equipment hit a 100 on a person wearing this shield and a Hitpoints skillcape, the damage would be reduced to 70, and 15 points would be deducted from this person's prayer. Supposing this person had only 14 prayer points left, the damage would be reduced by 28%, thus being a 72. In the same way, a person hitting what would have been a 40 on another person wearing this shield would actually hit a 28. The person who received the damage in this case would have lost 6 prayer points from this because 40-12=28, and 12* 1/2= 6. In general, the whole prayer deduction process works very similar to the way smite works, except in this case it's half of what the person is spared instead of 1/4 of the damage inflicted upon the player.

This shield has the exact same defence bonuses as the Elysian spirit shield, however, it's special effect is slightly different. While the Elysian spirit shield has a 70% chance of reducing 25% damage, this shield has a 100% chance of reducing 30% damage, assuming the player has sufficient prayer points. In this aspect, the Divine spirit shield is the most powerful shield in the game, yet nonetheless, it is more tedious to use. The price to pay for its constant reduction of damage is the loss of prayer points in a similar likeness to the prayer Smite.
