> ## About the PR
> <!-- What did you change in this PR? -->
> The shield will now only reduce damage itself can absorb.
>
> ## Why / Balance
> <!-- Why was it changed? Link any discussions or issues here. Please
discuss how this would affect game balance. -->
> A shield should probably not oxygenate your blood supply.
>
> ## Technical details
> <!-- If this is a code change, summarize at high level how your new
code works. This makes it easier to review. -->
> Instead of just multiplying the damage of the user, we now create a
damagemodiferset with all the damages that the shield can take. For that
we use the shield's damageable component. This does mean that shields
that cannot take damage will no longer absorb damage.
