The '''malediction ward''' is a mage-class shield that requires at least 60 [[Defence]] to wield. It offers the fourth best magic attack bonus for the off-hand slot in the game, succeeded by the [[mage's book]], the [[ancient wyvern shield]] and the [[arcane spirit shield]].
 
 
In terms of stats, the ward provides [[melee]] defence identical to that of a [[dragon square shield]] but provides a moderate amount of [[magic]] defence instead of providing ranged defence. The shield carries a substantial magic attack bonus but negative melee and ranged attack bonuses. Because of this the shield is ideal for mages, but unsuitable for other combat.
 
 
Players can use a [[ward upgrade kit]], obtained from the [[Bounty Hunter Store]], to cosmetically enhance the malediction ward, creating a [[malediction ward (or)]]. This only alters its appearance, and becomes untradeable. It can be reverted, but the kit '''will not''' be returned.
 
 
==Creating the ward==
 
[[File:Using_Volcanic_Forge.gif|thumb|200px|left|A player combines the three shards, creating the ward.]]
 
The ward is created from three components: the [[malediction shard 1]], [[malediction shard 2|2]], and [[malediction shard 3|3]], dropped by the [[Chaos Fanatic]], [[Crazy archaeologist]], and [[Scorpia]], respectively.
 
 
When all three shards are present in the players inventory, they must travel to the [[Volcanic Forge]] on the most north-eastern part of the [[wilderness]] to forge the ward.
