Fire Shield

is a Tier 1 Fire Path Spell.

The caster conjures a shield made entirely out of flames, in the form that they envision (e.g. round shield, kite shield, tower shield, etc). The fire shield has a handle that the caster can grip in order to hold the shield. The shield has enough substance to it that it can block physical attacks and projectiles as well as bash into physical objects or enemies. Parried incoming attacks could cause the parried melee weapon (or body part) to catch fire, which can cause significant harm.
