Armor of Absorption (Magic Armor)

If the user is hit by a blow that would cause an energy drain, this armor absorbs the draining effect and only the normal damage affects the user. Each energy drain causes the loss of one AC bonus modifier from the armor. When reduced to zero bonuses, the item crumbles to dust. (For instance, armor +3 that has absorbed two energy drain attacks is now armor +1. If it absorbs yet another energy drain, it is reduced to zero and disintegrates.) This special power is not under the control of the user, a character cannot choose to suffer the energy drain and leave the item intact. The normal limit of one use per day does not apply to this power.
