I would like to know how the health reduction from the Masochistic Effigy passive skill (Abyssal Shaper tree I think, if that's even the right name) works. Does it cap your health under your actual maximum health, so that you cannot regenerate it beyond a certain amount, or is it just a simple max health reduction?

I was thinking about using Blood for Blood with the modifier that deals damage equal to my missing health, which could have a really nice synergy with Masochistic Effigy if it does work by capping my health.

Knowing whether that would work would save me a lot of Affinity if the Skill ends up not working like I thought.
