I disagree with #1 for one reason - I'm not sure if it's a bug or is meant to work this way. I'm playing on PS5. Shield spells cause your armour to rapidly degrade. I enchanted an entire armour set with shield and noticed my armour was getting broken after 1-2 fights. At first I was confused as to what was going on. Then I noticed it didn't happen with my chameleon armour set. I experimented and it was only happening to equipment with the shield spell enchantment. Really a big bummer if you want to use shield with armour. Really don't like carrying around 100 repair hammers so I reloaded my game and won't use shield spells on armour anymore. Hope they fix this issue if it's a bug. Otherwise I think spell absorption should be on this list. Boost it high enough and you just drink spells and fire them right back at enemies.
