Editing Shield (section)

== Notes ==
* Armor levels for a Shield are capped at your buffed Shield skill if the skill is specialized.
* Armor levels for a Shield are capped at half your buffed Shield skill if the skill is trained or untrained.
* Magic damage reduction for shields uses a formula based on Shield skill rather than Magic Defense.
* Magic damage reduction is multiplied by 0.8 if Shield skill is not specialized.
* Magic damage reduction maxes at 433 base skill.
* The formula to determine magic absorption for shields is: RED = 100% * ((CAP * ST * SKILL * 0.0030) - (CAP * ST *.3))
**RED = Reduction%
**CAP = Maximum reduction/100%
**ST = 1.0 for spec, 0.8 for trained
**SKILL = 100 to 433 (above 433 base shield you always achieve the maximum %)
