  Instantly convert 55% of Base Mana into 40 Energy. Shifting Power's cost is reduced by effects that reduce the cost of Shapeshifting.

  The files Its effect grants 40 Energy (energize, value 40) for 55% of base mana, and Natural Shapeshifter's cost modifier mask (0xE0000000) covers Shifting Power's class flag (0x20000000), so shapeshift cost cuts apply. The site tooltip shows '[unknown value] Mana' because the cost is a percentage.

  Shifting Power: New 16-point gold medal talent. Prerequisite Shredding Attacks. We are doing something a little different here, where there are two gold medal talents on this row, this one that is Cat-oriented, and Primal Bite that is Bear-oriented. Shifting Power instantly grants the Druid 40 Energy, but at a significant Mana cost. It starts with a 16 second cooldown, that can be further reduced by other talents. This talent is new to next week’s build and is not in the beta yet.

  The files Shifting Power (1322605) was added in build 70170 in Feral row 4 and requires Shredding Attacks. It grants 40 Energy for 55% of base mana, the same as Cat Form, on a 16 sec cooldown.
