Basically, yes. If you have this amulet, you literally have a spellshield that will block a spell, seriously reducing the damage output of champions. For example: Ryze casts Rune Prison (the magical snare) Ryze casts Magic Flux (?) (the bouncing ball of thunder) Ryze casts Magic Shot (?) (the red ball that deals damage according to his mana and abil power) A good Ryze player can deal about 1500 damage with this at full level, without items and with his ultimate up. However, if you have Banshee's Veil, he is immediately stopped at the first cast, as shown here.

Ryze casts Rune Prison. Banshee's Shield (passive) Absorbs and negates Rune Prison. Not only does Ryze's spell fail, it also causes no inhibition to your movement, and you'll be out of range of his other two castable abilities, effectively shutting down his damage for that instance. After 30 seconds, the spell shield will conjure up again and remain around you until another offensive spell is cast against you. This will block EVERY spell in the game except for AoE spells. Here some examples:

Evelynn's Shadow Walk Stun, Ryze's Rune Prison and other spells, Evelynn's Hate Spike and Ravage, Twitch's Expunge, Nunu's Ice Ball, Singed's Fling, Malzahar's Malefic Visions, Sion's Glare, etc. Every single one of these spells will be blocked.

Spells that will NOT be blocked: Malzahar's Null Zone, Singed's Poison Trail, Anivia's Ultimate (Flash Frost I believe), Sivir's Boomerang Blade, and other related AoE spells.
