I made the same mistake with my healing ankh 27energy/energy -1/30hp. With it I have 53energy, without I have 38 energy.
I thought the 15 extra max energy is a free one. I was planning to use it in first couple seconds, then switch to the 38 max eng build. No it didn't work that way.
After my eng down from 53 eng to ... say 30 energy, I switched to the 38 max eng build, and it shows I still have 30 energy. But after I cast a 5 energy spell, my existing energy drop to 30-15-5 = 10.
So right now I use that as a lifesaver. When I am completely out of energy, I would switch to it and hope to use that 15 energy to save a teammate.
