The Malediction ward is a magic shield that needs 60 Defence and no Magic level. It gives +12 magic attack and +2% magic damage, and unlike a magic book it also has real melee defence: +50 stab, +52 slash and +48 crush, plus +15 magic defence. It lowers your melee attack by 8 and ranged attack by 12, and it has no ranged defence. Among shields in the ::bis interface only the Elidinis' ward (f) and (or), the Arcane spirit shield, the Mage's book and the Ancient wyvern shield have more magic attack, and it costs much less than any of them except the Mage's book. Players use it as a cheap magic shield that keeps some melee defence. It is the magic counterpart of the Odium ward.
