Does it do anything to lower power level based on that? Or raise others? Or is it unnecessary given the rest of the system's structure?

The general consensus was that casters were very weak in RM2, especially at low levels, so this is one of the buffs that RMU gives to them. Your first level Magician won't have to spend three rounds to cast a Shield spell. Whether that makes casters overpowered in RMU is a debatable point.

Just to be pedantic but shield is instantaneous. :)

Oops, someone beat me to it.
