Almost every piece of armor has encumbrance associated with it. This raises your spellcasting encumbrance which can be seen by clicking on the fatigue stat. Every time you cast a spell, this is added in addition to the spell's original fatigue cost.

You may find, however, that having an extra level in a spell category of your choice more than makes up for the extra fatigue caused by the shield's encumbrance by reducing the fatigue caused by the spell.

Yeah. But likely you are using the shield to push your paths up so that you gain access to whatever spell you are looking for.

Or to boost the effects of whatever spell you're casting. I love to see D9 Cloud of Death, for instance. 14 AN damage (MR at +2 penetration), AoE 19.
