Can a urban barbarian/arcane duelist use arcane shield in rage?

Quote:

Arcane Shield

You can convert any spell into a defense.

Prerequisites: Arcane spellcaster, caster level 10th.

Benefit: As a immediate action, you can sacrifice a prepared spell or unused spell slot of 1st level or higher and gain a deflection bonus to AC equal to the level of the spell or spell slot you sacrificed for 1 round. 0-level spells may not be sacrificed in this manner.

Controlled Rage (Ex)

When an urban barbarian rages, instead of making a normal rage she may apply a +4 morale bonus to her Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. This bonus increases to +6 when she gains greater rage and +8 when she gains mighty rage. She may apply the full bonus to one ability score or may split the bonus between several scores in increments of +2. When using a controlled rage, an urban barbarian gains no bonus on Will saves, takes no penalties to AC, and can still use Intelligence-, Dexterity-, and Charisma-based skills. This ability otherwise follows the normal rules for rage.


Arcane Shield isn't technically a "spell" if you go by the rules as written. I'd probably classify it as (Su) and allow it to be used with the Controlled Rage.
