Resist vs Spell Shields

We need to help define these, personally Resists should be
cooler then Shields in that they are dedicated points to a
specific defense while the various 'Shields' available to the
Paths of Magic.

I can agree but at the same time they are already. Resists reset
every game at no cost other than the CP cost. Shields are one
shot and cost mana to reapply.

Mages get their 'shields' for free at the start of each game so
your mentioning that the mages have to spend spell points on
them is moot. Mages being able to sell Shields right before mid
game reset at no (or only partial) loss also makes your
characterization of 'cost' misleading.

The shields really shouldn't be put up every game. They're only
supposed to be free your first game, after that you have to
reapply them.

Mages dont get the shields for free after the first game. They
can reapply them if they have the mana and the shields carry
over in between the games for everyone. So if a mage does not
have the mana free, they cant apply their shields. Its all about
budgeting the mana.

^ This.
And even if you want to say they have mana they can just re
apply it that is mana they have spent for the game and mana they
have to buy with CP.

For 'cost' purposes I think it is important to consider that
Mages can sell Spells, so if they do not 'use' their Shield one
day, they can use the mana for something else. A person who has
a resist does not have this option.
This is countered by the fact that Resists are not 'forced' to
be used, while Spell Shields can get taken up by weak spells.
I am starting to understand the game better so I have gotten
what I need out of this discussion.
Thank you all for participating.
