I, for some reason, thought that in the case of shields, realism is the deciding factor, because for a mage, "add HP" and "add a shield with HP" are fundamentally different things.
I thought about it from a gameplay perspective because it usually plays a primary role in such situations. And from a world-building perspective, you can justify it in different ways, saying that "the shield protects against what the mage considers a threat and is aware of." That is, it will protect him from a hammer blow, but not from a dagger attack from behind.

This is, firstly, fair to mages, because without mana, they can't do much.
Oh, but even with mana, elementals can't do too much. ;)
