Shieldskin is great. Believe me. Doesn't interrupt your casting. Awesome,
and needed spell for soloing. However, it's gonna cost you. The spell
component is a cat's eye agate which sells for roughly 2 gold 5 silver or
so. Now, here's another tip, from what I can see the spell has to 'work up'
to it's full strength. So, if you cast it and then immediately stary
whacking on something, your shield will come down with the first hit.
Duration was also better than I thought, but keep that in mind, if HAS a
duration.
