I'm not sure that I agree with this and thus lies my problem with these
feats. Why wouldn't the shield's wearer be able to defend himself (and his
property) with his own magic? If a humakti can break my shield with a target of 14, then a ZZ can set my clothes on fire with the same ease.

And what would be the resistance for a magical shield - assuming that the
shield does not have an ability rating.
