While the spell is in effect, you can also use the Raise Shield as a reaction, instead of an action, with your magic shield. The shield has Hardness 5. After you use Raise Shield, the spell is dismissed. You can use the spell’s reaction against the Magic Missile spell to reduce the force damage. Shield is on the Arcane, Divine, and Occult Spell Lists.
