Well, there is only so much shields can do against magic! I imagine they help, but my fighting style definitely does not suit carrying a shield around that would be sturdy enough for that sort of thing.
[ He just has a small shield-like thing on his armor back home, because he needs both of his hands free for fighting.. ]
In fact, when you think about it, magic is not all that different from arrows. I imagine it might just be different for people when they are not quite as used to magic, but I have seen one of my friends cast spells since we were very young. I grew up with it, even though I have never used it myself.
