Applies the "Thorium Spike (20-30)" effect to your shield, so you return 20 - 30 damage every time you block with it. This takes the place of a shield enchantment, and any 250 skill blacksmith can apply this to your shield.

Here is the run down of damage, and location from each type of Shield spike:

[Iron Shield Spike] (8-12 damage), BoE world drop from Level 25-35 mobs, found easily on the AH.

[Mithril Shield Spike] (16-20 damage), BoE Rare world drop from level 35-45 mobs, found sometimes on AH

[Thorium Shield Spike] (20-30 damage), BoE rare world drop from level 58-60 mobs, also dropped by Master Elemental Shaper Krixix, and Emeriss, very rarely found on AH. Good luck getting this one.

[Felsteel Shield Spike] (26-38 damage), bought from vendor after exalted status for Thrallmar/Honor Hold. Mats are expensive, and the rep grind is hard, so this items sells for a high price in AH, but is rarely found due to honor requirements needed to make it.
