It also boosts regular shields, which are useable by assassins.

If  you get an item with an enchantment that would do better on a different class, just reload your save and change your vocation.

For example, if you get Hellfire Greaves with an enchantment that allows faster movement while casting spells, just reload and switch yours and your main pawn's vocation to mage or sorcerer and the item WILL be Carrion Greaves when purified.

The system works by choosing a piece (either Helmet, Chestplate, Gloves, or Boots), and then choosing a type (either weak or strong (Shadow Armor set is weak, Oblivion Armor set is strong). The style that is chosen is permanent, but it can be styled to your vocation.
