I agree with everything the OP says. Arcane Ward should function like it does in PnP, and we should be able to see how much HP it has remaining.

I'm guessing that this situation is temporary, because the ritual casting system isn't in place yet.

Ritual casting a spell, by the book, takes 11 minutes. I think in BG 3, it should take 60 real-time seconds.
