Magic Absorb

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Crushing Blow Enhanced Minimum Maximum Adds Damage Damage + % Damage to Demons to Undead Deadly Strike Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison Skill Damage ATD/ATLD DR/MDR Resistance Maximum Enemy Resist Immune Absorb Sunder Magic Absorb Fire Absorb Lightning Absorb Cold Absorb Magic Absorb decreases any magic damage then heals life equivalent to that damage decrease, after any magic resistance has been applied. Damage equivalent to MA is subtracted from magic damage remaining after MR. Healing equivalent to magic damage absorbed is applied. Magic damage remaining after MA is applied. The net result depends on current life at time of healing: actual healing = min(maximum life - current life , magic damage absorbed), so maximum healing only occurs when current life ≤ maximum life - magic damage absorbed. Unlike Magic Damage Reduced (which applies to fire damage, lightning damage and cold damage as well), MA only applies to magic damage.
