According to the Arreat Summit (hohoho, hahaha), 8 hard points in telekinesis will have reduced the multiplier to 1.5, and 16 hard points in telekinesis will have reduced it to 1 (i.e. for every point of damage absorbed, only one point of mana is deducted).
[1] Is "damage before resistances" used to work out how much mana to deplete? I seem to recall discussion on the topic, but I haven't used Energy Shield on a 1.10 sorc.
Edit: Too late. ;-) but whilst there is an edit button, there is no 'delete post' button for us mortals that I can see...
You don't know what you're talking about.
