And shown in the same cutscene, the HoT can use the Force without gesturing. Is it so hard to believe that they automatically erected a shield through reacting to the attack via some manner of precognitive ability? Or that they just have a shield constantly active like the Sith are taught to in the Bane era?

Yeah. Because we see absolutely nothing indicating such. Also, been awhile since I read PoD, but where are they taught to keep up shields constantly. Not even Yoda does that.
Edit: Never-mind find it. God is Drew an incompetent Star Wars author.

Then did the lightning just evaporate midstream?
They're taught to always erect one in battle to prevent someone from surprising them with the Force.
