Editing Tempest shield

[[Image:DQV_Tempest_Shield.png|right|border|275px]]
The '''Tempest shield''' (formerly ''Wind God Shield'' & ''Aeolus' shield'') is a recurring shield in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Engraved with the face of a furious god, it blows away whole swaths of enemies with the strength of Zephyrus himself.

While several guides state that the shield casts [[Poof]] on all enemies, the effect actually uses [[Whack]]'s instant death element to check enemy resistance. The confusion comes from the fact that enemies blown away do not give experience or gold.
