Can't have it both ways. :)

Either two mages can throw spells on a polearm to make both immune,
or, if that polearm can hurt both of them, then I can beat you to
death with your Grog.  What's the difference?

In the first case, only my spells get through my parma, so your
purple-polearm spell is stopped, and thus the polearm is stopped.

If my purple-polearm spell means the polearm can hurt me, no matter
what you've done to it, then by casting a spell on my grog to make
them better, the grog can get through my parma no matter what spell
you cast on it.  Like a nice ReCo.
