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.
 
==Localization history==
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.
