Strong Magic Shield is a sorcery in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- Imbues off-hand shield with magic. Reinforce shield to absorb additional damage.
- Certain members of the Melfian Magic Academy scoff at these types of magic. The purists, in particular, are disdainful of anything vaguely linked to sword fighting.
Availability[]
- Sold by Royal Sorcerer Navlaan for 6,300 souls.
- Sold by Straid of Olaphis for 6,300 souls.
Effect[]
This sorcery can be cast on any shield to imbue it with Magic, similar to infusions. This grants the shield a 100% defense against all types of attacks (including Magic, physical and some status effects) when blocking, while increasing stability by 10% (this effect stacks with that of the Baneful Bird Ring). However, the effect is temporary and the duration of the spell is dependent on the Intelligence stat, up to 60 seconds at 27 Intelligence.
Attunement milestones[]

|---|---|
| 10 | 4 |
| 32 | 5 |
