It's gotten out of hand in the past so much that previous weakness enablers like splash had to be nerfed for it's wrongdoings. It limits what and how much weakness% is allowed for mages to have now so long as it reduces resistances below 0% in my opinion (Thank god Bard doesn't have magic honestly), it could stand to eat a reduced effectiveness if the attack were to bring it below 0%, or even not bring it below 0% at all.
but as it stands this item is also effective at making omniwalls have to stoke their resistances higher to not simply wall out most magic damage builds either, so its current presence should stay as powerful as it is against those. It is important to keep mage item variety at play so there SHOULD be more options, spelldaze gloves are a good start imo! But no one's gonna use those over 10% to 20% more damage at all points.
It could be as simple as raising the resistance shred to 15% while also making it not reduce resistances past 0%, as that usually stems the issue of it being a free damage item for mages. Exactly what bloody palms will be criticized over in the future I wager.
