Fire Shield is a 4 level spell in the School of Fire Magic. Target allied stack gains a shield of fire, that damages all units trying to attack it in melee. Damage is based on damage done to enchanted unit, considering all attack bonuses of the attacker but not considering all defensive bonuses (Armorer, Attack-Defense difference, Shield etc) of the enchanted unit. If the enchanted unit is totally destroyed, only the damage needed to kill it is used as a base for calculations.

Damage taken by the enchanted unit must be greater than 4 or the fire shield will have no effect.

It should be noted, that even creatures that are normally immune to (fire) magic, for example black dragons, gold dragons or magic elementals, can take damage from this spell.

All friendly unit fire shields (from hero magic, from Ironfist of the Ogre and Efreet Sultan) can be strengthened via Orb of Tempestuous Fire and Sorcery, but weakened by Protection from Fire spell.

Efreet Sultans have an innate fire shield equivalent to basic fire shield. You can cast Fire Shield onto Efreet Sultans, but only the better one will be applied as a result. That means only advanced or expert fire shield will improve the shield.
