Shock and/or Sonic damage inflicted on the wearer is reduced by 2 points per attack/effect. If an attack deals both Shock and Sonic, reduce each by 2. E.g., if the wearer is hit with a thunderclap spell that deals a total of 10 damage comprised of 5 Shock and 5 Sonic, the wearer only suffers 6 damage.
Wearer can understand any language being spoken as long as the wearer can hear the speaker. It does not grant the ability to speak or read any language.
