Now, using Aetherflow itself is immediate, it sets your Aetherflow stacks to 3, as well as the MP gain.

However, what happens if you pop Aetherflow in the middle of the Energy Drain attack? Well, you start the drain, it remembers you have one stack, aetherflow executes giving you 3 stacks, and then the drain finishes and sets you to zero stacks [the one minus one].

So the way to avoid it is very simple--don't use Aetherflow until Energy Drain has completed.
Best info ever. And I can see where this would happen to me as I often burn off charges with drain before using flow.
