FAQ submissions - Dawn of the Hunt

Several of these questions I'm pretty sure I know the answer to but I'm asking them here anyway because a lot of other people are asking them.

(I've also sent them to community manager Nick independently but making a thread seems useful as I'm sure other people will add more to it)

FAQ submissions

Lich – Eternal Life
A player is at 1000 life and 10000 energy shield, and suffers a single hit for a million damage. Is the character’s ES dropped to 0 but they remain alive, or is the character outright slain?
A player has 10000 energy shield, 1000 life and 1000 mana. They wish to cast a spell with resource cost of 200 life and 200 mana. Does Eternal Life render the 200 life cost unpayable (as the player’s life cannot change) or can they cast the spell?
A player has synergies rewarding being at low life, sits at 400/2000 life, and has Eternal Life allocated. They pass an in-map checkpoint which ordinarily refills their life, flasks and charms. Does this set them to 2000 life and put the player in a foul mood?

Lich – Rupture the Soul (POE2 version of Profane Bloom)

What is the radius of the explosion?

Lich – Eldritch Empowerment
If a player has extremely low maximum Energy Shield, will the additional cost imposed round down to zero, or is it always a minimum of 1ES?

Lich – Crystalline Phylactery
Is the ‘100% increased effect of socketed jewels’ text a property of this socket, or a stat granted to the player (thus affecting all jewels they have socketed)
How does the “50% more mana cost if you have no ES” interact with “The Burden of Shadows” unique staff? Is the 50% more applied before or after the conversion of resource costs?

Amazon – Penetrate
Is flat physical damage provided by this Ascendancy notable scaled by effects that would scale flat physical damage on a weapon, for example, the weapon prefix Tyrannical (155-169% increased physical damage)? Or is it instead scaled only by effects that scale flat damage from other sources, like physical damage added by the ring prefix Tempered (adds 10-15 to 18-26 physical damage to attacks)?
