Mechanics

• Lose all Power Charges on reaching Maximum Power Charges When used with items that grant X% chance that if you would gain Power Charges, you instead gain up to your maximum number of Power Charges (e.g. Inya's EpiphanyInya's Epiphany
  Arcanist SlippersEnergy Shield: (47-55)Requires Level 61, 119 Int+(50-70) to maximum Life
  25% increased Movement Speed
  (5-8)% increased Intelligence
  5% increased Damage per Power Charge
  25% chance that if you would gain Power Charges, you instead gain up to
  your maximum number of Power ChargesThough the path we walk is the same,
  each journey is different.) modifier, causes you to lose all your Power Charges immediately; thus Shocks you with the Shocks you when you reach Maximum Power Charges modifier.
• When combined with Graven's SecretGraven's Secret
  Cloth BeltRequires Level 68(15-25)% increased Stun and Block Recovery+(60-70) to maximum Energy Shield
  (16-20)% increased maximum Mana
  +(40-60)% to Lightning Resistance
  +1 to Maximum Power Charges
  Modifiers to Minimum Power Charges instead apply to Minimum Absorption Charges
  Maximum Absorption Charges is equal to Maximum Power Charges
  Gain Absorption Charges instead of Power ChargesThe cowardly thinker's greatest success is simply surviving., this shield essentially provides 2 additional maximum Absorption Charges and Absorption Charge on-hit generation while avoiding the shock downside (as you cannot gain Power Charges).
