Description:
Endorphin's Floating Friend (abbreviated as EFF) is a first order defensive spell which floats a shield around the caster.

The shield will automatically protect against attacks and remain floating around the caster until it is knocked out of orbit.
 
Comments:
The effectiveness in blocking attacks is determined by the weight of the shield, i.e. a large wall shield will be much harder to knock down than a small wooden shield. As this is the case, it is much harder to successfully float a heavy shield than a light one.

The ability to float a shield is determined by the caster's bonus in magic.methods.physical.binding and the shield weight. The ability to control a shield is determined by the caster's bonus in magic.spells.defensive and the shield weight. Insufficient skill to control a shield will mean that the shield will fail to block attacks, and ability to cast the spell on a given shield does not guarantee that the shield will block efficiently for the caster.

Check "Utilities -> EFF Shields" for a list of bonus requirements for each shield.
