Mechanics and interactions[ | ]

Mind Over Matter modifiers stack additively with the 30% of Lightning Damage is taken from Mana before Life 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 +20% chance to be Shocked 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[1] 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 Shock increases Damage taken by 15% for 2 seconds, which may be not correct.

Legacy item only[ | ]

Shocks inflicted on enemies trigger the Recover 3% of Maximum Mana when you Shock an Enemy modifier.[2] This is applied once for each enemy shocked, not per cast or attack. The you specifier means that the player must inflict the shock themself.

Version history[ | ]

Version Changes
3.10.0
  • Mind of the Council no longer recovers mana on shocking an enemy. Now causes Attack Skills to have Added Lightning Damage equal to 6% of your maximum Mana, and causes you to lose 3% of your Mana when you use an Attack Skill. Now has +15 to 20 to maximum Energy Shield. This does not affect existing versions of this item.
3.0.0
  • Many Prophecies have been reworked for compatibility in Acts 5 and upwards. Prophecies are no longer bound to a specific difficulty and can be triggered and completed in any relevant area. Some Prophecies, such as several of the Pale Council chain steps, now take place in new locations.
  • The Pale Council encounter has been rebalanced and is, in general, more difficult. Defeating the Pale Council will earn you one of four new unique items exclusively available from them.
    • (undocumented) Old Pale Council uniques were moved to the 5th stage of the prophecy chain as a potential drop
2.4.0
  • The Prophecy system (previously a challenge league) has been added to the core game. You can now find and rescue Navali in The Climb.
