ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

What I understand (I think):

1. Attacks above a certain amount are ignored
2. Each attack that is ignored drains 1 charge

What I don't understand:

1. What determines the number of charges?
2. Where is this information displayed?
3. How many charges might an endgame shield have?

The talent description says how many charges you get.
You can get 6/7 bones.
Current number of bones is displayed in the tooltip of the effect.

Bone shield is very good against big attacks, like a nasty soul rot or such, and very weak against multiple small attacks

I'm pretty certain that the necromancer's version of the spell does not have that information displayed. Maybe I'm just missing it.

The bone shield that necromancer gets is different from the other bone shield.
When a necromancer gets a bone shield, all damage is reduced to ~14% of its max hp for a certain amount of turns.
The other bone shield absorbs 1 attack regardless how much damage it does.
As you can see, these effects are completely different, but are confusing because they have the same name.

Yeah the necro shield is basically a hard hit reducer. It wont do anything to small hits but big hits will never do more than X
