The '''arcane spirit shield''' was released on [[15 September]] [[2008]] along with [[Summer's End]] and the other [[spirit shields]]. It requires 75 [[Defence]], 70 [[Prayer]] and 65 [[Magic]] to wield. The shield is made by attaching an [[arcane sigil]] to a [[blessed spirit shield]], which requires 90 Prayer and 85 [[Smithing]], giving 1,800 Smithing [[experience]]. In addition, you must have completed [[Summer's End]] to make or wear the arcane spirit shield. Alternatively, [[Brother Bordiss]] will combine the two for players who do not have the requirements to do it themselves, for a cost of 1,500,000 coins.<br />

==Compared to others==<br />
The shield has the same defensive bonuses as the blessed spirit shield, though it also gives a +20 Magic attack bonus. This makes it the off-hand item with the best Magic attack bonus in the game, outclassing the [[mages' book]] (+15), which held the title before the release of the arcane spirit shield, and the [[farseer kiteshield]] (+17). Like the other spirit shields, it also gives a small Prayer bonus and has no offensive penalties, making it suitable for all styles of combat. Its substantial Magic attack bonus, however, makes it most suited for mages.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*On [[1 February]] [[2010]], the spirit shields' appearances were changed to match their inventory pictures, which were updated on [[11 January]]. The arcane spirit shield's colour was changed into golden yellow from a pale yellow-green. Previously, the arcane spirit shield and [[divine spirit shield]] were close to the same shade of green.<br />
*On 15 March 2011, along with the Ring of Wealth update, the spirit shield sigils became a near 100% drop from the Corporeal Beast. This glitch was patched within an hour of release.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Arcane|Arcane]] means "known or understood by very few; secret".<br />
