Do life-steal and spell-vamp apply to the damage dealt to shields? The life-steal and spell-vamp pages don't say one way or the other. To me, from a thematic standpoint, it seems like they shouldn't, since the attacker is not doing any actual damage to the champion. However, unlike armor, magic resistance, the block/unyielding masteries, Alistar's 'Unbreakable Will', shields are not a form of damage reduction; they are a form of damage mitigation.
