Sacred Bulwark
In-game tooltip: infuse the shield with sacred energy to erect a massive energy barrier, during which you cannot move or turn. The barrier completely blocks frontal attacks and prevents enemies from passing through. Cast again to thrust the shield forward, dealing damage and knocking enemies back. The barrier shatters after blocking impact attacks a certain number of times.
