Ok, is it me or is the skill description for this spell wrong?

"Sacrifice 10% Health. Hold Tsungrai's ashes for up to 15...51 seconds and gain +50...122 maximum Health. When you drop his ashes you gain 100...244 Health. "

Right, when I use this item spell it works exactly like stated. But when I drop the ashes, I also gain 10 energy. I've tried this over and over, and I always gain 10 energy when I drop the ashes.

Can someone else try this to let me know? Cos if so the ingame/wiki descriptions are wrong.....

When you're holding the ashes you're not holding your staff, so you'll notice that you lose 10 energy. Then when you drop the ashes, you re-equip your staff and regain the energy bonus the staff provides.

Correct when holding an item you are not holding your equipment so if you use an item spell your equipemnt will be unequiped until you drop it.

And this is why most item spells are stupid. Almost all of them are defensive (even the ones that do damage!), and they're not even very good with the defense. +Max health? I'd rather have a 50% block chance warrior stance that doesn't drain my energy.

This can be quite good with W/Rt who are running.
Use it at the beginning of a run , heal up to new max health - start run.
Sure you have lost your shield but when things get a bit hairy you can drop the ashes to heal yourself right backup without the need to stop running

Unlike most of the ashes spells, generous is actually pretty worthwhile. 10% max health is probably somewhere around 48, while the health gained when you drop it is around 248. 200 point self heal for 5 energy? Yes please.

Requires a 10% sacrifice, and more if using +health mods. At a 15 second recharge, though, the spell typically is great for one emergency. If one knows in advance they're gonna need that heal, they can do it twice, but that's a bit tricky. I guess it's not that bad of a spell.

I still think all of the item spells could do with a decent boost to make up for the lack of defensive mods and +energy while they are held.
