This rune can be cast on a shield. The shield will then float on water. The size of the shield will determine how much weight it can hold.
| Shield | Weight |
| Buckler | 10 lbs per rank |
| Small Round Shield | 20 lbs per rank |
| Large Round Shield | 30 lbs per rank |
| Kite Shield | 40 lbs per rank |
| Tower Shield | 50 lbs per rank |
The shield will float for a maximum of 2 hours per rank and can used as often as desired until the duration ends or until the 2 hours per rank is used up. For example, Runic the Rune Mage casts this ritual at rank 10 on his large round shield. Duration is 10 days but, over the course of the first 5 days, he uses the floating ability for a total of 20 hours. Thus, the floating ability is used up in only 5 days. |
