Energy Absorption

Description
Elemental absorption reduces the amount of damage the wearer takes by the percentage specified AFTER all other protections and resistances have been penetrated.

Different degrees of elemental absorption stack. However, do not simply add the various absorption rates (e.g. 10% + 15% does not equal 25%), you multiply them (0.9 * 0.85 = 0.765; for a 23.5% reduction).
