 Energy Shield is similar to, and might have replaced, [[Temporal Armor]]. That skill was seen in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo, and had a slightly different mechanic: protecting the [[caster]] from 100% damage once every 6 seconds. Something that could be either very good, if it fended off a strong attack, or quite useless, if it fended off a weak one.

 Energy Shield originates from the grossly overpowered {{iw|D1_Spellbooks#Mana_Shield Mana Shield}} from the [[Diablo I|original Diablo game]], where every point of damage translated into [[mana]] lost instead of [[life]]. The spell had unlimited duration, as long as the character didn't [[death|die]] or travel to another level.

-This skill with lots of heritage is back in [[Diablo III]], and while it was completely unnecessary in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo, it's likely to be used by many [[Wizard]]s, especially if they are picking up [[Stone Skin]] and [[Magic Weapon]], going [[melee]]-style.
