Mechanics

The skill gem (such as aura, banner, herald, stance, etc) socketed in this ring reserves no mana. If the skill gem has the Aura gem tag, it receives +2 to gem level.

Essence Worm's 80% reduced Reservation Efficiency of Skills mod affects the reservation of other skills which reserve mana or life, such as aura, banner, herald, stance, aspect skills, Spellslinger etc. This mod is additive to other increased/reduced reservation efficiency modifiers from item mods and passive skills. This modifier is also independent from the other two modifiers of the ring. Regardless of whether there is a socketed gem or not in this ring, the reservation is increased once this ring is equipped.

Note that under one Essence Worm:

Normal % reservation adjusted reservation
50% (e.g. Haste) 250%
35% (e.g. Purity auras) 175%
25% (e.g. herald) 125%

Unless the player has stacked #% increased (Mana or Life if applicable) Reservation Efficiency mods, equipping this ring effectively rules out using any other reservation skills other than the one socketed in this ring.

The player can use two Essence Worms, which would total 160% reduced Reservation Efficiency, making it even more difficult to equip any other reservation skills.
