==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.
