Although the description of the spell states, that it reduces 30 % (or 15 %) of the damage delivered to a creature stack, it is not entirely correct. This is due to a fact that there are also other factors affecting the damage recieved from the hand-to-hand combat. For more information, see [[Damage#Damage calculation of creature stacks|damage calculation]] page.
Unlike spells like [[Stone Skin]] that affect [[Defense]], Shield directly multiplies the total damage by 70% (or 85% for Basic). (See the [[Damage#Damage calculation of creature stacks|damage calculation]] page for details.)  Since Defense is somewhat more complicated, it's hard to directly compare its effects, but a very rough estimate is that Shield is worth about 10 (5 for Basic) extra points of Defense.  <!-- Depending on the difference between defense and attack, it can grow from 5 to 12 to 8 to 12 again, and even higher for very high attack. -->
 
30% melee damage reduction is equivalent to 15 bonus defence, considering 25 defence is cutting damage in half and 25 attack is doubling the damage.

Unlike spells like Stone Skin that affect Defense, Shield directly multiplies the total damage by 70% (or 85% for Basic). (See the damage calculation page for details.) Since Defense is somewhat more complicated, it's hard to directly compare its effects, but a very rough estimate is that Shield is worth about 10 (5 for Basic) extra points of Defense.
