Spell Bastion

A spell-bastion rune creates a reservoir of eldritch energy within the shield. A spellcaster can spend 1 minute to Cast a Spell of 3rd level or lower into the shield. The spell must take 2 actions or fewer to cast and must be able to target a creature other than the caster. The spell has no immediate effect-it's instead stored for later. When you invest a spell-bastion shield, you immediately know the name and level of the stored spell. A spell-bastion shield found as treasure has a 50% chance of having a spell of the GM's choice stored in it.

Effect You unleash the stored spell, which uses the target of the triggering attack as the target of the spell. This empties the spell from the shield and allows a spell to be cast into it again.
