There doesn't actually seem to be a proper discussion of thresholds in the rulebook, so let me give you the rundown.
There are three levels of thresholds: Normal/Iron, Silver, and Magic. They correspond with the basic damage types, and each is greater than the other, meaning a creature with a Silver threshold can only be damage by silver and magic damage, while a creature with a magic threshold will take no effect from normal, iron, or silver weapons.
Thresholds will also have a value stated in a number (3 Normal Threshold, 4 Silver Threshold, 0 Magic Threshold, etc.). To deal damage to a creature with a, for example, 2 Normal Threshold, you must damage them for at least 3 Normal, or deal silver or magic damage to them. A creature with a 0 value Threshold simply needs to be hit with a weapon of that damage type or higher to take the effect.
Wardstones are a protection spell that grant the holder a +1 Threshold, this means that the holder gains +1 to whatever threshold they have. For most people, that is just a Normal threshold, meaning a person holding two wardstones would have a 2 Normal Threshold. Any Normal damage exceeding 2 will damage the holder, as well as any amount of silver or magical damage.
