Magic Shield  

Analysis

Magic Shield is a beneficial status effect that provides 100% resistance to all spells, including Dispel, Magic Finale, single-target spells and AoE's (-ga's).
All "spikes" damage is also nullified by this effect.

It only provides protection against damage from spells, it doesn't prevent damage from non-spell sources. (e.g. Astral Flow, En-spells, or a skillchain)
DoTs already affecting the target before Magic Shield is applied will continue to do damage until they wear off normally.
