>They couldn't even get close so I have no idea how the shield works.
I didn't mention this because it doesn't really matter, but the shields are powered by djinniyeh. If you activated it, it will be as effective as you are aligned with them. So you can use it on your own, but it's limited in power unless you think like one of them.
Either way, this means once you have female djinn in your lamp, the shield will power up. There is no risk involved unless you have them so, it will be active when needed. If you don't have djinn, no other djinn will be provoked and the shield isn't needed.
