Heya,
Gondorian wrote up this answer to a similar question before:
The key is basically that Shard of Power applies its temporary cap to your maximum health only after all other temporary stat modifiers have been calculated. Raven's Gambit is a temporary health modifier in the same way that Life Infusion is. Whether it be "has +5 health" or "has -1 health" it will be treated as a temporary health modifier and will be used to calculate your allies current health before Shard of Power enforces its maximum health cap.
The difference between a Rampant Krygon and Raven's Gambit is that one is a permanent reduction of health (Krygon) whereas the other is a temporary health modifier (Gambit). For example, if you kill Rampant Krygon after it has used its ability on an opposing ally, that ally wont get its lost health back. However, if you were to remove a Raven's Gambit from one of your allies you would get the 1 health back.
Hope that helps
