The '''Magic shield''' is a recurring shield in the {{DQSeries}}. It is designed to guard against harmful magic and elemental damage, hence the whimsical design.

In Japanese, there are actually two separate but similar items which the localized English item of "Magic Shield" describes:

*The first is マジックシールド ''majikku shīrudo'' (i.e. Magic Shield), which first appeared in [[Dragon Quest V]] and has so far only appeared in that game and its remakes.

*The second is まほうのたて ''mahō no tate'' (Japanese for "Magic Shield"), which first appeared in [[Dragon Quest VI]] before showing up in all main series installments that followed (as well as the remakes of [[Dragon Quest III]]), as well as some spin-offs.

Appearing only in the remakes, the Magic shield can be equipped by all vocations save for the [[Martial Artist]]. It boosts {{Defence}} by +25, and cuts '''all''' magical damage by 25%. It can be purchased from [[Baharata]], [[Mur]], and [[Persistence]] for 2,000 gold and sold for 1,500 gold. It is also the most protective shield that a [[Mage]] can equip.

The Magic shield has a Defence bonus of +22, and reduces damage taken from [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], and fire breath by 7. It can be purchased from [[Lodestar Harbour]], [[Zoomingale]], [[Helmunaptra]], and [[Battenburg]] for 3,400 gold and can be sold for 1,700 gold (2,550 gold in the Super Famicom version). It can be equipped by the {{Hero 5}}, his [[Hero's son|son]], and various monster companions. The son also joins the party with one equipped. A magic shield can be found on the Ventuno TNT board as well.

The Magic shield has a Defence bonus of +20 and reduces Frizz, Sizz, and Bang damage by 8. It can be equipped by The {{Hero 6}}, [[Carver]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Terry]], [[Nevan]], and [[Amos]].

The Magic shield has a Defence bonus of +18 and a style bonus of +21. It can be equipped by the {{Hero 7}}, [[Maribel]], [[Sir Mervyn]], and [[Aishe]]. It can be purchased in [[La Bravoure]], the [[Temple Palace]], [[El Ciclo]], [[Spilton-on-Sea]], [[Hubble]], and [[Aeolus Vale]] for 5,000 gold and sold for 2,500. Magic shields can also be won as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]]. One can be found at Hubble in the past in a treasure chest.

The Magic shield has a Defence bonus of +27 and decreases Frizz, Sizz, and Bang damage by 15. It can be equipped by the {{Hero 8}} and [[Angelo]], as well as [[Morrie]] in the Nintendo 3DS version. It can be purchased from [[Argonia]] once the bazaar starts or from [[Arcadia]] for 5,000 gold and sold for 2,500 gold. The shield can also be made in the [[Alchemy Pot]] and is used to make a [[Flame shield]], [[Ice shield]], or a [[Power shield]].
