When this spell is cast, an invisible barrier comes into being in front of the wizard.  It sets the wizard's armor class to 4 against all melee weapons, and 2 against missile weapons.  It also grants the wizard immunity from the spell Magic Missile.  The effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled.

◦ Shield (Evocation, SCRL79): Grants a 2 point AC bonus over Armor and also protects against incoming Magic Missiles, but its duration is only 5 turns compared to Armor's 9 hours. This spell is much more useful in IWD2.
