I'm not sure if anything practically would steal shields given that its quite unnecessary seeing that most shield constructs are more of large flashing bulleyes that disrupt the flow in an area and makes the user more apparent than anything. Alright to get to the topic, if I wanted to steal a shield, I would rather simply grab the shield, pick it up and toss it aside. At least that's what one of the entities that works for me now does in its practice, an experiment with an unwary practioner showed that this loophole is too easily exploited as the person piled their supposedly most potent protective layers in place, only to have them literally held up and thrown away. Leaving them vulnerable. But then again, shields themselves can be turned against their user... for example one may use the shield of another to constrict them, implode inwards or something similar. An idea is to add sentience to your own defenses so they're smart enough to know what to do in any situation.
