| Description=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Description}}}
| Description|A shield with this special ability is typically decorated with some sort of an aerial motif.  Perhaps a fanciful design with clouds, or a more abstract design indicating some sort of a vortex or cyclone.

As a standard action, the wielder of this shield may cause a whirling mass of roaring wind to manifest adjacent to their space, the whirling mass is roughly spherical or circular and filling a ten foot, unblocked, unoccupied square (a 2x2x2 square space).  This whirling mass occupies that ten foot space as though it were a creature, and can be moved around by Combat Maneuvers or forced movement, or it can be moved into or through by such means as [[Clamber]] checks or [[Overrun]]s. Any required checks are made against the Maneuver Defense of the wielder of the shield.  

Any enemy creature which ends their turn adjacent to or inside the vortex suffers {{Order|3}} as {{Dmg|buffeting}} damage.

As a move action, the wielder of the shield can command the mass of whirling wind to move a distance equal to the wielder's Walk speed, using [[Greater Flight]] as its movement type. The mass of air cannot hold or manipulate anything in any way. If not commanded to move, the mass of air remains at rest, occupying a square as an ally creature of the wielder and all of their allies.

Up to once per round, as a standard action, if the wielder of the shield has line of sight to the whirling air and it is within the distance they could cover with a [[Run]] maneuver, the wielder of the shield may command the whirling air to buffet a creature it is adjacent to. The wielder of the shield makes a [[Maneuver Offense]] check against the [[Maneuver Defense]] of the targeted creature. If successful the targeted creature suffers {{Order|5}} as {{Dmg|buffeting}} damage.

The mass of whirling air is considered an attended object and cannot be harmed by hit point damage. It can be Sundered to destroy it, having a Durability of one. The difficulty of a Sunder check against the Sphere is the Maneuver Defense of the Caster.  It cannot push aside unwilling creatures, batter down large obstacles, or inflict any Siege Damage. The whirling air dissipates immediately if it exceeds a distance from the shield further than a Run maneuver of the wielder..

This mass of air can be used to disperse Obscuring spells. Gases, fogs, and vapors that intersect the squares occupied by the whirling air are dispersed in those squares.

Obscuring spells include: {{Spell-Type|Obscuring}}, and any other effects the GM rules as being affected.
