I am fairly certain Magic Shield is a 'halving' effect AFTER damage resistance, so it isn't as awesome as it could be. That is to say that for physical resistance on a knight (30%) the calculation is:
total damage = base damage * (.7 for resistance) * (.5 for shield)
which is different from
total damage = base damage * (.2)... .7-.5
The former is not as strong as the later, but still nice.
