Mind Over Matter interaction

I believe the Mind Over Matter keystone passive is not functioning as intended in certain situations. I took Embrace the Darkness from the Acolyte of Chayula ascendancy, which states that one only loses Darkness if a hit reduces life or energy shield. However, when I allocate the Mind Over Matter keystone, my Darkness still gets depleted, even though I haven't taken any life or energy shield damage. This behavior seems inconsistent with the stated mechanics.

bit of an older post but i just wanted to respond and say that it's working as intended, at least currently.

mind over matter protects your LIFE and not your energy shield, darkness protects both your life AND energy shield. in order for embrace the darkness to work the way you want it to with mind over matter you must also have no energy shield.

After noticing some wierd interactions when i took Embrace of the darkness i did some testing.

I have Mind over matter, never tried it without MoM.

After losing energy shield and recharging it, i sometimes take damage to mana (or HP if i have no mana and darkness) when i still have energy shield.

Sometimes both my darkness and mana take damage at the same time when i have ES.

Some certain attacks bypass energy shield and armour, could be that.
