 Once the armor has absorbed all the damage it can withstand, the enchantment dissipates, and any further damage is directed toward the wearer.  For example, Maria is equipped with armour able to withstand 8 h.p.  When she's struck for 10 damage, the first 8 points are absorbed by the armour, causing it to vanish.  The remaining 2 points are then taken by Maria herself.
