* Upon casting the shield, the creature becomes engulfed in a protective shield, which will block all incoming damage. It will break after sustaining a certain amount of limb damage. If a light shield is already active, the technique can be used again to refill the existing shield's HP back to full.
** The light shield counts as '''Armored''', with '''40 HP''' and '''LDV-0'''.
** The light shield engulfs the user, which means it takes priority over personal body armor and/or shields, but will not engulf counts as a '''special shield''' (behind [[Covercover]]. The order but in front of priority is as follows: [[Covershields]] > ''Light shield'' > Physical shields > Target creature (AC/body armor)in the [[Shields#Defensive order of priority|defensive order of priority]].
** The light shield is fully impenetrable until broken - there is no pass-through of damage until the shield is broken, which makes it possible to survive powerful hits without taking damage (other than the casting costs), even if they would destroy the shield in one hit.
* This technique is an '''Angelic power''' which requires '''2 AE''' to cast.
* This technique can be aimed at self, or at any other creature in the room. It requires no accuracy check; the technique always succeeds.
* Upon casting the spell, the targeted creature will instantly heal 30% [[Pain]], [[Limb health|4 HP per limb]] on all limbs, and close 2 random open [[wounds]] (prioritizes DWs first), and heal 2 random [[fracture|fractures]].

Angelic creatures are employees of '''Heaven, Ltd.''', the Angelic [[Factions|faction]].
Cherubim resemble short, chubby humanoids, with a child-like appearance, a pair of white feathered wings, pale to light skin, and blonde hair. They are 5 feet tall on average, and weigh around 140 pounds on average. Both male and female cherubim exist, and they typically wear white, Roman-style togas, white sandals, and one silver wrist bracelets on each arm, each one adorned with the symbol of Heaven, Ltd.
Cherubim are at the lowest rank of angelic hierarchy, being classified as '''E-rank''', below [[angel|angels]] and [[pterolykos|pterolykoi]]. Despite resembling children or, at most, prepubescent teenagers, cherubim are mentally adults and possess the same intelligence, reasoning, and thinking capabilities as an average [[human]]. This contrast between their appearance and their behavior can be shocking, particularly to those not used to seeing angelic creatures.
All angelic creatures have the same basic objectives: to provide company, guidance, and protection to sapients in need. More than being merely mere combat companions, Angelics operate on the principle that by being in contact and serving as protectors, they can teach Heaven's values to those they protect, in turn increasing their influence over sapients. Their other major objective is to oppose demonic influence, and fight demonic creatures at every opportunity. They frequently roam through the Mazes in search of people to protect, as every person they defend (and every Demonic creature they defeat) increases their Angelic Energy, which allows them to perform their powers.
Although cherubim are the weakest of angelic creatures, they should not be underestimated. Their two special powers are the ''light shield'', a magic protective shield designed to increase their survivability, and the ''healing beam'', which they can use to heal themselves, but most often, others. In additionto this, they can use traditional weapons, and are traditionally generally equipped with a shortbow and arrows; , though some of them train themselves in the use of different weaponsweaponry.
Over time, a cherub may eventually "grow" or "evolve" into full [[angel|angels]]. It is not known exactly how this process works, and as Heaven, Ltd. has refused to give detailed explanations, but the prevailing theory is that angelic creatures evolve through repeated gaining and spending of Angelic Energy, a process that is generally explained as "gaining experience". This process has no relation with age either, as it has been found that all angelic creatures besides do not visibly age, and with the exception of [[shrine maiden|shrine maidens]] neither visibly age, nor do they appear do not seem to have a maximum life expectancyeither.
