If you have protective bond/spirit cast on you and you have a rune of absorbtion, when does the absorbtion kick in?

Situation
Max health = 100
Protective Spirit is cast on you. (so max dmg from 1 hit = 10hp)
You get hit for 50, is it

1. 50 reduced to 10 - 1 (absorbtion) = 9
2. 50 -1(absorbtion)=49 reduced to 10?
