Magic Slam?

[Droog007]

So I'm a Troll shaman, and relatively new to the server. For 23 levels or so, I had been using a round shield that I looted from a dead Basher. I finally recently got an upgrade to a MAGIC shield, but I was rather disappointed to see that my slam skill is still useless against ghouls, dry bones, etc.

Is this one of the "classic" shortcomings of the game? Or something that might be fixed at some point? Seems like it should not be too tough to check your shield/gloves/shoulder/bracer/whatever slot for the MAGIC flag when you slam a mummy. Maybe it's not classic, but it makes sense...
