Dragonfire Shield
The Dragonfire Shield is a nifty peice of equipment. To obtain one, you will need an anti-dragonbreath shield (obtained through the Dragon Slayer Quest) and a Draconic Visage. The said visage is a drop of various dragons - only adult Black, Iron, & Steel Dragons - as well as the King Black Dragon and Skeletal Wyverns - will drop a Draconic Visage.
When you have the visage and the anti-dragonbreath shield, you can either use them and make the Dragonfire Shield yourself (90 Smithing required; see the Dragonfire Shield section in the Smithing Guide for more info) or you can take the peices to Oziach (again, from the Dragon Slayer Quest) and he will make it for 1,250,000 gp (1.25 million). The shield, while powerful on its own, has power beyond its original traits. It still protects you from dragon breath, but not by shielding you from it - by absorbing it. Your shield has the power to absorb all types of dragon breath and unleash it later (it protects from the breath of the Skeletal Wyvern but does not absorb it).
Every time a dragon unleashes a burst of flame upon you, your shield will absorb it. You shield can hold up to 50 charges of flame. To unleash the stored up power, while weilding the shield in combat right click it an select 'operate'. A blast of fiery energy will be unleashed upon your opponent! After unleashing a blast your shield will have to cool down before you can do it again. You can check how many charges your shield has by clicking 'inspect'. For each charge that your shield absorbs, it will add +1 to the shields crush, slash, stab & ranged defence.

Dragonfire Shield (uncharged) |  | 75 Defence | -10 | -5 | +20 | +25 | +22 | +10 | +22 | +17 | +7 |
Dragonfire Shield (fully charged) | | 75 Defence | -10 | -5 | +70 | +75 | +72 | +10 | +72 | +17 | +7 |
