This spell summons a pair of
shimmering violet phantom beings that will stay on either
side of the mage and protect him from all attackers. The
shield-maidens are AC 4 (phantom chain mail and large
shield); Move 12”; HD 3; hp 20; Dmg 1d6 (phantom spear);
THACO 16; AL N. The shield-maidens stay close enough to
the caster for their shields to help cover the mage. The
shield of one maiden will provide the caster with a -1
AC bonus. If both shield-maidens protect the same
side of the caster with their shields, the AC bonus
is -2. While the shield-maidens can protect the caster
from attacks from different directions, they will move no
farther than 50 feet away from the caster, even if the mage
orders them to move away. They follow magically wherever
the caster goes. 

MC: A pair of
small crystal shields tied with string to a miniature wooden
figure of the caster.
