How does Absorb Elements interact with Arcane Ward?
Am I forced to react before the Arcane Ward takes damage or can I react after it overflows the ward? IF after, does the HP regenerated allow the ward to take further damage?
(45HP ward, 60 fire damage, Absorb Elements at 8th) Check out page 6 of the Sage Advice Compendium.

The ward takes damage first, then you/resistance. https://t.co/9yInWpY9vG
