#10756 The Shield spell should block Magic Missile cast by traps or wands

Endarire

Greetings, all!

This is a behavior I experienced in BG and BGEE as well: The [i]shield[/i] spell blocks [i]magic missile[/i] spells when cast by enemy casters (or when cast via a scroll of [i]magic missile[/i] or by one of my own spell slots - for testing purposes I assure you!) but NOT when cast via a Wand of [i]magic missile[/i] nor by a [i]magic missile[/i] trap.

Regarding the attached ZIP: Head downstairs and southwest to where the [i]magic missile[/i] trap springs. Note that I have [i]shield[/i] and [i]invisibility[/i] and [i]haste[/i] up to make this a faster task.

I used [i]shield[/i] on myself, then put a [i]magic missile[/i] scroll in my quickbar. You can confirm that casting [i]magic missile[/i] this way works as intended (that is, the spell is blocked).

I have a specific memory of shield blocking a magic missile from a trap in the vale of shadows. Also italics uses < and >, only the spoiler tag uses [ and ].
