Mind Over Matter

Mind over Matter is a keystone passive skill that allows your mana pool to absorb damage.

Mechanics

When Hit, 30% of damage that would have gone to your life is taken by your mana rather than life. If you don't have sufficient mana, than the remainder of the damage will be taken from your life pool.

Damage is applied to your Energy Shield before life and thus before Mind Over Matter. Due to this order it does not work with Chaos Inoculation.

The % damage taken gained as mana modifier triggers before Mind Over Matter.
