Metallicize does not restore health equal to 40% (or 100%) of maximum health. If activated while on 5% health, it does not increase to 45% (or 105%) - rather, 7% (or 10%).
As the user's current health percentage is conserved at the beginning and end of the effect, the active functions to effectively reduce all incoming, non-percentile damage for the next 4 seconds by ~28.57% (or 50%), including true damage. The item does not provide any effective healing.
The active effect also reduces the effectiveness of non-percentage based healing by the same amount.
As the active effect increases both current and maximum health, percentile damage is not affected by the damage reduction. 5/100% is the same as 10/200%. The active can prevent executions that modify their own damage based on missing health percentage if the modified amount is no longer sufficient to kill - e.g. Veigar'sPrimordial Burst dealing increased damage to low health targets versus Elise'sVenomous Bite which deals a percentage of the target's missing health.
The user's size increases significantly more when activated with Stone Skin.
As per the above, the item is best activated under similar circumstances to Zhonya's Hourglass as a means to mitigate the enemy's burst - and achieves little if activated when on the verge of death.
Stone Skin can be used to determine if there are nearby enemy champions that can not be seen, particularly useful when trying to figure out if there are 3 or more champions hiding in a nearby bush without having to get close enough to place a ward.
Metallicize now increases base health and bonus health proportionally, rather than all increases being considered bonus health. For example, if you have 1500 base health and 1000 bonus health, the empowered cast will grant 1500 base health and 1000 bonus health instead of 2500 bonus health.
Cinderhulk's+20% bonus health is now only applied onceafterMetallicize, rather than Metallicize first increasing the champion's health already factoring Gargoyle Stoneplate active and then Cinderhulk triggering again to increase the new amounts of bonus health.

Unique Passive - Stone Skin: If 3 or more enemy champions are nearby, grants 40 bonus armor and 40 bonus magic resistance.
Unique Active - Metallicize: Increases maximum health by 40% and increases champion size, but reduces the damage you deal by 60% for 4 seconds (90 second cooldown). If Stone Skin is active, instead increases maximum health by 100%.
