Maybe the developers forgot about this - using archmage's magic shield, your gain is halved...

I think what you said makes more sense by design. I hope they dont' change it.
I didn't realize magic shield would reduce the gain.
Ah, I didn't have a leather dress, I just assumed. I think leather dress is part of the old design, where NOTHING touched astral e.g. Divine Armor which supposedly grants +X resist to ALL, does NOT affect astral!
The crystal ball was part of the gift pack and part of the new "resist astral" paradigm.
Thanks for double checking!
It is probably because magic shield lowers the Raw damage before resistances and such are calculated?
And, the restored units from Sacrifice probably calculates right after magic shield, but right before affected resistances.
Oh no... don't have them remove it. This is awesome.
