The pre-2.6 The Covenant (plus foil version that dropped from Ancient Reliquary) has Blood Magic mod that grant the keystone of the same name, while the later versions of the legacy items grant the now removed Blood Magic Support gem (the mod wording now known as Socketed Gems Cost and Reserve Life instead of Mana), but with a 100% cost & reservation multiplier. Blood Magic keystone remove mana but it is global , which affects all other skill gem to cost and reserve life. While Socketed Gems Cost and Reserve Life instead of Mana is a local mod that only affects socketed gems. The price of this legacy items aside, different versions of the legacy items fit different build so that make sure to buy the right version.

Note that a Divine OrbDivine OrbStack Size: 20Randomises the values of the random modifiers on an itemRight click this item then left click a magic, rare or unique item to apply it. can usually change a mod value of the legacy item (or made a mod "hidden" if it has a new default value of "zero"), but not adding or removing a mod. So that some of the Energy Shield mod of this legacy item can be improved or make it worse by using a Divine Orb. Also, the #% reduced maximum Life can also be changed to 10% increased maximum Life by using a Divine Orb. Moreover, the dev has used a new mod id for the new Gems in this item are Supported by level # Added Chaos Damage mod, so that using a Divine Orb cannot change the supported gem from level 15 to 29.

Lastly, a Divine Orb cannot add Skills gain a Base Life Cost equal to 100% of Base Mana Cost to the item as it is an entirely new mod.
