I think it's a bit disappointing that you pretty much rely on his mercy in not restoring the shield once it's down if he's too busy fighting you, as that costs him nothing (apparently), and he could win the fight with the shield alone (although the fact that he *wants* you replace him kind of expla...

However, it being a clear referrence to Tolkien's One Ring, there is also a parchment describing how the wearer of the ring dropped his key to the water. I would not be surprised if it also has some hidden bad effect, like bad luck, or loss of critical hits, lower accuracy, etc.
