Modifiers

• Socketed Gems Cost and Reserve Life instead of Mana: Skill gems socketed in Prism Guardian cost and/or reserve life instead of mana. This effect is similar to that of the Blood Magic keystone, but without setting maximum mana to zero. The item in fact support the skill gem(s) with unique version of Blood Magic Support (SupportBloodMagicUniquePrismGuardian), which the Blood Magic support gem itself no longer exists, as it was split into two gems due to rework. The socketed skill gem in this shield will have the support gem letter B in the UI.

• Reservation Efficiency: Socketed Gems have 30% increased (Life) Reservation Efficiency. This effect is additive with other Reservation Efficiency modifiers from passive skills or items. However, if that mod is specify to Mana Reservation Efficiency, then that mod is not affecting the gem socketed in Prism Guardian.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	The basetype defence values have changed to (156-179) Armour (from 156 Armour), (32-37) Energy Shield (from 30 Energy Shield) If not mentioned below, all sources that previously provided reduced reservation, including for specific skills or types of skills, now provide increased mana reservation efficiency at twice the value of the reduced reservation they used to give. Modifiers on existing items are affected by these changes. Items that previously caused socketed gems to have reduced reservation have been balanced separately to other reservation efficiency effects. They still provide generic reservation efficiency rather than mana reservation efficiency, but generally have values lower than double the amount of reservation reduction they used to provide. Existing items will be updated to the functionality and values stated below, but will still display the old values unless updated with a Divine Orb. Prism Guardian now grants "Socketed Gems have 30% increased Reservation Efficiency", instead of "Socketed Gems have 25% reduced Reservation".
3.14.0	The costs and reservations system for skills has been extensively reworked to add new options. (Not stated in patch note) The mod of Prism Guardian has wording changed.
2.0.0	Now grants +2 to the Level of Aura Gems Socketed in this Item.
1.3.0	Block Chance has been reduced from 24% to 22%.
1.1.0	Reduced the implicit resistance values on hybrid strength/intelligence shields.
0.10.7	Added 3D art.
0.9.13	Introduced to the game.
