Is there a typo in the "Deflect" spell (PHB II - Page 109). In the Lesser Deflect spell, the bonus is deflection, but in the "Deflect", it says "shield" bonus of 1/2 your level....it would seem to me that it should be a defection bonus as well, no?

Or...does having the "shield" bonus benefit in some other way? A sorcerer/wiz will likely have a shield spell going anyways....and the duskblade will already be carrying a shield. Deflection bonus would be more a benefit to either, no?

It should be a deflection bonus, given that the lesser version in the spell chain grants the same.
