They do protect to some extent. But a bashing is generally a wide area blunt (thus non-aerodynamic) attack equivalent.

I'm almost wondering if BJs have any dampening effect on things like extremely loud sound or something. Being in the constant presence of explosions and probably strong lights doesn't seem to have any degree of effect on mages.
Ep7 A's suggests No. Or at least it doesn' t suppress things nearly enough. Tricks like Eisenguel would have no meaning if the standard defense can attenuate them to the point that their suppressive effect is lost. This, I'm sure, is something that would hold even to someone from the Literary POV.
