Hi there! I came across the Caster's Shield in UE and it didn't really explain itself. What can you do with the stored spell? Can you activate it as a standard action or something?
This +1 light wooden shield has a leather strip on the back on which a spellcaster can scribe a single spell as on a scroll. A spell so scribed requires half the normal cost in raw materials. The strip cannot accommodate spells of higher than 3rd level. The strip is reusable.
A random caster's shield has a 50% chance of having a single medium scroll spell on it. The spell is divine (01–80 on d%) or arcane (81–100). A caster's shield has a 5% arcane spell failure chance. The price of the shield is modified by the value of the scroll spell if one is currently scribed.
Thanks!
Pretty much what it says on the tin, it's a shield with a scroll on the back, meaning you would activate it as a standard action.

IF you are a spell caster who uses a shield and uses scrolls, it's amazingly useful. You can scribe a 3rd level or lower across that's always ready and prepped when your shield is, and it costs you half what a regular scroll costs you to make (so 1/4 the cost to buy). After two dozen spells, the shield has paid for itself.
