Overview
The Shield Charm becomes part of Harry’s growing practical knowledge of defensive magic. It is useful for reading how a confrontation unfolds: casting a shield, disarming an opponent and moving out of danger are distinct actions. An entry should describe supported uses without assigning invented strength ratings.
