Cursed shields

[MisterMan]

The mirror shield is an item that can do pretty much everything, offense and defense included, with nothing that does what it can. What if there was an item more specialized, but still useful? 

 

Introducing cursed shields!

 

When they're first made, cursed shields would be nothing more than a fancy cult version of a riot shield, with nothing more than decent block chance. However, you can use spells on them to give them different uses! Simply slap your favorite spell on it and turn it into a useful tool. Each spell would have different effects based on the nature of the spell, such as stun spells applying a short stun to those who hit the shield, teleport randomly teleporting people and projectiles a short distance, blood orb shooting blood orbs, blood spear enabling the shield to do heavy brute damage on hit, and more! Most spells would be used up in one hit, forcing you to reapply them if you want to continue using their benefits. 

 

This would make for more interesting gameplay and strategies, as you would be met with the choice of either using your limited spells normally, or putting it on your shield. It would also give otherwise useless spells such as hallucinations a practical use, and change up the spell loadouts people go for every cult round.
