Mind of the Council

Mind of the Council is a unique.

Mechanics and interactions
Mind Over Matter modifiers stack additively with the modifier, but only for lightning hits. This modifier can be used to mitigate reflected lightning damage, but could also leave a character without mana when taking heavy lightning hit damage. Converting damage taken to lightning can be used to shift damage to mana with this modifier.

Although the modifier may seem hazardous, its effect is reduced by the fact that shock is calculated based on the amount of lightning damage dealt to life and the fact that 30% of lightning damage is taken from mana before life when hit when equipping this item. Note that the help text of the item states being, which may be not correct.

Legacy item only
Shocks inflicted on enemies trigger the modifier. This is applied once for each enemy shocked, not per cast or attack. The specifier means that the player must inflict the shock themself.

Legacy variants
Mind of the Council has a legacy variant.
