1) When equiping it (holding) it makes all damage you take in be reduced by 25% and it makes it so that you can never be instantly killed (for example if you take in a mithril sword on the head which deals roughly 150 damage. If you only have 100 health then you would have one health point left when equiping the shield) or (If something does 100 damage then it would only do 75 damage) If it gave an extra health bonus the it would take time to regenerate it (when you weild it) and since shields shouldn't be a weapon. You would get thrashed.

2) It can stun people. This means that people who are stunned cannot damage anyone and if they attempt to attack you still then the damage will reflect back to themselves. It would last for perhaps five or six seconds. (If you keep chain stunning them then you could quite easily kill someone decked out in complete mithril with ease. It would be overpowered then)

3) Stunning them would also reduce their walkspeed to 14 and it would half the speed that they can jump. (It also deals damage)

So that's actually three/four effects that it gives.
