Passive block and special effects

Hi, I just re-read parts of Mythras core rules, including ward location (passive block). First I have to admit that I remembered it incorrectly how much of the damage is blocked but now I know that it works just like when blocked the normal way.

Now, the real question. Let’s say that character A uses target shield wards a location that just happens to be hit by character B using a shortsword. As per blocking rules, all damage is blocked. But as there has been no parry roll and the attack was obviously successful does this mean that the attacking character B still generates 1 (or 2 in case of critical success) special effects?

Thanks in advance!
