Golden Draik Charm

From what I can determine, the Golden Draik Charm can do one of five things. It can do nothing, can block five icons of dark (based on your defence stat), can block ALL dark, can block three icons of fire (based on your defence stat), or can heal to full (IF you are less than 50 hp away from your max).

I saw where it had been reported that the GDC can heal you to full when you are in the green. That is incorrect. The determining factor is 50 hit points from maximum. If you have a 50 hit point pet with 1 hp left (in red), it CAN heal you to full, yet if you have a 2000 hp pet pet with 1950 left (in green), it cannot.

NOTE (thanks, implied): The GDC does count as a healing items (so can't be equipped with scorchstones, eca, healing scrolls, etc) but it does not disappear after a healing so multiple heals are possible.

Same attack, same opponent, but this time the GDC blocks ALL dark.

Demonstrating that the 50 hp barrier is the relevant issue with the GDC. This screenshot is the 'before' shot. Note how the pet is in the red yet has less than 50 hp damage done. This 'after' screenshot shows the GDC healing to full.

It was difficult, if not impossible, to test exact percentages since if an opponent did not use any dark or fire, I couldn't be sure which effect the GDC was attempting to do. Based on the results of the Snowglobe Staff, which also has one of five effects, I'll go on a limb and say that there are equal chances for any of the five. (Although in limited tests (100 uses), it did heal at a higher rate (25%) than expected.
