Does the ability to ignore normal and mortal wounds on a roll of 6 stack if you have two Mages cast the spell in the same turn?? ie if I take 1 wound I get to roll two dice to try and ignore the wound? I don't believe you can be effected by this shield more than once but I cannot find anywhere "rules as written" saying that it does not stack.

Thoughts?

I don't see anything which says you can't roll twice,much like mystic shield stacking.

I would say it does stack, because the mage casts it 'on himself', and the trigger condition is the wound is applied to the mage or other model within 18" of him.
So yeah, two shields in effect, two bites of the cherry. Same as the Bloodsecrator's totem ability.

So for each model I wound, he gets a save, then if that is failed he gets two chances for the shield to deflect the attack?

I would say yes - but just be aware that whilst saves are against 'hits', Shield of Saphery is against wounds.

I.E. you get hit by a warmachine that does D6 wounds, fail save, and opponent rolls 5 wounds.
You then - in effect - get 5 shield of Saphery saves, then any that fail get the second save.

NB. The spell specifies the model must be within 18", not the unit. So if you wind up with a situation where some models in a unit get 0, 1 or 2 saves depending on individual position so may have to result to rolling separately, as wounds are assigned individually to models.
