I didn't know. That's sort of interesting? So, I looked up the spell to see what it entailed and here is what I found...
- From the AI:
- Battle Ward is a spell in Pathfinder that grants a +3 deflection bonus to the warded creature's AC when a foe makes an attack roll against it. It can also be imbued in a shield, reflecting non-area-of-effect spells unless the attacking caster makes a touch attack against the shield's bearer. Additionally, there is a powerful spell that creates magical wards and effects to protect a stronghold or fortress

DESCRIPTION
You imbue a shield with battleward properties. It glows with a shimmering blue radiance, and it reflects non- area-of-effect spells contacting it or its bearer entirely unless the attacking caster makes a touch attack against the shield’s bearer. Any reflected spells drain away without further effect.
At any time after its first round of existence, the caster of a battleward can, as a swift action, transform the reflected spell into fly magic, enabling the shield and its bearer to fly. The magic carries shield, bearer, and any armor and other items worn, strapped, or attached to him or her (up to the bearer’s encumbrance limit), plus anything else held by the bearer that is the shield’s weight or less. Once this change is made, the spell reflection property cannot be regained.
