The '''Spectral spirit shield''' was released on [[15 September]] [[2008]] along with [[Summer's End]]. It requires 75 [[Defence]], 70 [[Prayer]] and 65 [[Magic]] to wield. The shield is made by attaching a [[Spectral sigil]] to a [[Blessed spirit shield]]. To do this, players need 90 [[Prayer]] and 85 [[Smithing]]. In addition, you must have completed Summer's End to make or wear the spectral spirit shield. Alternatively, Brother Bordiss can be asked to attach it for 1,500,000 coins after completing [[Perils of Ice Mountain]]. To enter and kill the [[Corporeal Beast]] for any sigil drops, Summer's End must be completed.

===Compared to others===
This shield is equivalent to an [[Arcane spirit shield]], but instead of an offensive bonus of +20, it has a Magic Defence bonus of +30. The other shields comparable to the Spectral spirit shield would be the [[Eagle-eye kiteshield]], which has a Magic defence of +25, with a 14% damage absorption; and the [[Sacred clay shield (magic)]], with a magic defence bonus of +30 (equal to that of the spectral spirit shield). This shield is commonly used by wealthy players during [[Castle Wars]] and [[Tzhaar Fight Pits]] because of its extremely high magic defence. This shield is effective in the [[Zarosian]] boss chamber and when fighting Nex as it gives good protection against magic attacks, and is widely used among rangers when fighting the Corporeal Beast.

===History===
====Corporeal Beast's Stomp Attack====
Both the [[Grand Exchange]] and "street" prices of the Spectral Spirit Shield have been known to fluctuate. At the time of its release, the price of the Spectral Spirit Shield stabilised in the 40-50 million [[coins]] range and was known to be the least expensive of the [[Spirit shields#Sigils and Shields|'enhanced' spirit shields]]. Due to the [[Corporeal Beast]]'s stomp attack update on [[15 October|15 October 2008]], its price steadily rose to more than 150 million coins, after which it started to drop again. Since then the price has fallen back down to {{GEPrice|Spectral spirit shield}} coins.

====Sacred Clay Shield (magic)====
[[File:Sacred clay shield (magic).png]] As of [[23 August]] 2011 it is no longer the only shield with the best magical defence bonus (+30) , it is now tied with the [[Sacred clay shield (magic)]]. Even though the Sacred Clay Shield has no prayer bonus and lower defensive bonuses against melee and ranged, and it is degradable, many players will find it convenient due to its low cost (200 [[stealing creation]] points) and because there are fewer requirements (65 Defence compared to the spectral shield's 75 [[Defence]], 70 [[Prayer]], 65 [[Magic]], and completion of [[Summer's End]]). The [[Grand Exchange]] guide price of the spectral spirit shield was 45 million coins on the day of the release of the Sacred Clay Shield (magic), and it has been declined and stabilised at around 20 million coins.

==Trivia==
*On 1 February 2010, the spirit shields appearances were changed to match their inventory pictures, which were updated on [[11 January]]. The Spectral spirit shield's colour was changed into a vibrant indigo from a pale bluish purple. Previously the [[Elysian spirit shield]] and Spectral spirit shield were close to same shade of blue.
*It bears +5 better magic defence than the Eagle-Eye Kiteshield, and is currently the best off handed object to give magic defence.
