This have literally no sense whatsoever.

First, I was talking about geomancers. All three tanks use some sort of party-protecting ability. Maybe Nymian Scholars want to have a word with them too?!

Second, Nymian Scholars are known for their STRATEGY. The shields are not actually related to the lore directly as far as I can remember from doing the scholars quests. There is nothing in the lore to my knowledge saying that they cast protecting shields over their allies. It's just a mechanical effect, just like Resurrect doesn't actually resurrect and "dead" players aren't actually dead. That's why player can't REALLY resurrect the people that die, like Moenbryda etc. And there's a bunch of other stuff like this, too. Heck, astrologians cards are just like that.

The shields, in my opinion at least, represent the scholars commanding a person in such a way as to have them avoid the approaching damage through outsmarting the opponent. That is in tune with their strategic lore. Know your enemy and all that stuff.
