By touching a magic shield or weapon, you transform some or all of its enhancement bonus to apply to the opposite intended form. If used on a magic shield, some or all (your choice) of its enhancement bonus to Armor Class now applies to attacks made as part of a shield bash, stacking with any preexisting bonuses to shield bashing. If used on a magic weapon, some or all (your choice) of its enhancement bonus to attacks and damage now applies to Armor Class when used to fight defensively, use a total defense action or any other method in which a weapon provides a bonus to Armor Class, stacking with any such preexisting qualities. Once the amount of the enhancement bonus to be shifted has been determined, it cannot be changed.

The bonus in question always remains an enhancement bonus to either attack and damage (if it's a shield used as a weapon) or to the shield bonus to AC (if its a weapon used a shield). No special qualities, if any, gets shifted. If used on an opponent, a Will save negates the effect.
