You create a disk of Salsabil's light on one arm.
Any creature that strikes you with a melee attack deals normal damage, but also takes 1d6 points of fire damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +15).
Creatures with reach weapons are not subject to this damage if they attack you. The shield provides illumination as if it were a Continual Flame spell. You can only have one instance of this spell in effect at a time. It does not stack with similar damaging aura spells such as Fire Shield.
