* 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]].

The process of how a human someone can become a shrine maiden is explained in the [[Shrine maiden#Becoming a shrine maiden|section below]].
Shrine maiden work is classified into one of two three broad categories; shrine management , store duty, and missionary duties. Any shrine maiden can be reassigned to one or the other at any given time, and personnel are is constantly rotated to keep them moving between assignments. Each shrine maiden is assigned to a 'home' shrine, which in turn means that the corresponding town becomes their town of residence.
When assigned to shrine management, the shrine maiden's duties involve the operation and management of the shrine. These include tasks such as keeping the shrine clean and orderly, giving sermons about Angelic faith and values, collecting and counting financial donations to keep the shrine running, and providing help and guidance to visitors and followers in exchange for donations, offering either general guidance and tasks on how to live under Angelic rules, physical healing (through the use of the ''healing beam'') or psychological counseling, acting as the Mazes' equivalent of psychiatrists and therapists.
 
When assigned to store duty, the shrine maiden's role is to run one of the ''Angelstop'' [[convenience store|convenience stores]]. These duties are largely the same as those of a [[trader|regular convenience store manager]]; however, all ''Angelstop'' stores possess the same donation boxes as shrines. Customers of ''Angelstop'' stores are regularly encouraged to donate their spare change.
When assigned to missionary duties, shrine maidens perform the more traditional angelic work of roaming across the Mazes, offering to help and assist people they come across, like [[angel|angels]]. They generally walk on predefined routes and circuits which circle back to their hometown, though certain shrine maidens have engaged in extended missions spanning the entire known world.
