So basically it's massively useful against beholders and especially hive mothers, and some dragons. (Especially Abazigal's "wife" in the Ascension mod, which uses a breath that does magical crushing damage that a wizard otherwise can't defend against)

It doesn't protect against psionic attacks that I have not mentioned, so mind flayer attacks do go through the shield.

When bugued, it is ridiculously overpowered, since nobody can dispell your spell and combat protections, making you invulnerable. (Except against poison damage, e.g. Green dragon breath, since no spell give protection against that. Use mirror image versus area of effect attacks like dragon breaths.)

You can still be made visible and your mirror image dispelled if you aren't protected against divination OR use non-detection. While I haven't checked, it is possible that non-detection is the anti-divination equivalent of Spell Shield, potentially including the same bug.
