Another 'feature' of bonding I have found is if you are using a weapon that is bonded, then switch to another bonded weapon (such as a bonded sword, then going to a bonded thrown), when you invoke the bond it will bring the previous weapon to hand, and then if you do not notice it, the shield is next. At that point the shield is both on your arm and in your hand.

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
