Yeah, that was sure an eye opener. Fire Shield, Frost Shield, etc., all provide the same armor boost as plain vanilla Shield. And ALL Shield does is boost your armor rating. Shield is for chumps, and I've been a big one.
Do note that this is only with Sigil Stones, for normal spells and enchants you'll find that Shield provides a greater AR than the Elemental Shields for the same cost.
As for Spell Effectiveness, the maximum in armor should be 95% (without mods). For spells without a magnitude (Paralyze, Invisibility and such) you'll get reduced duration instead of reduced magnitude. It is a slight, but noticable, drop when using high power spells. However, it's nothing that will cripple you.

You're right. I misread 93% as 98%. Still, not enough of a penalty for me to go without armor.
