While the Ward of subjugation is the only item in the shield slot that gives magic damage%, it is worth noting that the increase is only 1%. The fact that magic damage% only applies to the monster the player targets, but not to all the monsters the player is attacking, while magic accuracy applies to all monsters the player attacks, means that the arcane spirit shield may still be the better magic shield while casting multi-target ancient magic spells.
History
Not long after Zamorak achieved godhood, he became worried about his followers, which were not loyal to him and were planning to betray him the same way he did with Zaros. Seeing that, he visited Razulei in the Infernal Dimensions and requested the creation of the robes of subjugation, powerful robes imbued with cruelty. After they were created, Zamorak paid Razulei handsomely and gave them to his mages. His mages drew power from the clothes with the objective of overcoming him and were flooded with pain. Desperate to cease it, they drew even more power from the robes, but it only worsened the pain and it eventually killed them.
After Zamorak's banishment, his followers that wished to return him to Gielinor were loyal, so they could use the power of the robes without succumbing to pain, but prospering in the name of Zamorak.
