aegis reduces dice by 1 from all attacks.
does this include any spell/attacks that deal direct damage. mainly these 3 scenarios come to mind.
1. drain life does 5 dice of direct damage, would, this change to 4 dice
2. push into an impassable wall does 3 dice of direct damage, would this only do 2 dice.
3. if a creature/spell were to have a direct damage dice attack would that be reduced
my guess is
1. no
2. yes
3. yes

1 Drain Life is an Incantation and does not perform an attack, so no.
2 With wall bashing I "think" you are correct, but would probably need a confirmation from someone wiser than me
3 This would be reduced, as long as its an attack
-
Direct Damage is not Attack and therefore is not reduced.

"Aegis X
All attacks made against this object subtract X attack dice before rolling" - rulebook
"Bashed
When a creature is Pushed into a wall with the Passage Blocked trait it is
Bashed. It receives an Unavoidable attack of 3 attack dice of damage." - rulebook
Drain Life is not an attack spell, so Aegis does nothing against it.
Wall bashing is considered an attack, so Aegis would work against it.
Rule of thumb: As long as the attack is a dice attack and NOT the result of an enchantment or incantation, Aegis applies.
Just FYI, Aegis doesn't stack, and the attacker will never roll less than 1 die against Aegis.

adjust your rule if thumb, drain life states "5 attack dice of direct damage"
I see my flaw I thought bashes was 3 dice of direct damage.
I was confused with the term direct damage (sounding a lot like true damage from league of legends) and if that can be reduced by aegis
