Shield of Absorption (Magic Shield)

If the user is hit by a blow that would cause an energy drain, the shield absorbs the draining effect and only the normal damage affects the user. Each energy drain causes the loss of 1 AC bonus modifier from the shield. When reduced to 0 bonuses, the item crumbles to dust. (for instance, a shield +3 that has absorbed two energy drain attacks is now only a shield +1. If it absorbs yet another energy drain, it is reduced to 0 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.
