NICOLELARANS: Added additional information on blood flares

{{TOCright|limit=2}}'''Parasitic Weapons''' were first sold at [[Bloodriven Village]] in the [[BVShop:Temple of Tentacles|Temple of Tentacles]] in April 2017 by ASGM Retser. They can be [[blessed]], [[Ensorcell (735)|ensorcelled]], and [[Enchant Item (925)|enchanted]], although the latter two are difficult (see [[#Enchanting and Ensorcelling|below]]). Traditional [[flare]]s can also be added. In 2017, they were sold off-the-shelf with a +20 (4x) enchant level. They have a special [[Slash critical table|slash]] flare, known as a "blood flare," that gets more potent as affinity grows.

While bonding to a weapon, the weapon will fight its owner until they reach a certain affinity. This comes in the form of a "retaliation" flare that can happen rarely on attack.

== Warning ==
'''Eating/drinking herbs to heal your blood loss may result in further blood loss and/or death!'''

''In this instance, when the weapon was first summoned, it drained the user of all health, except for 1 health point. Eating the acantha leaf replenished 10 health, but at the same time, the weapon drained another 7 points of health. The user died as a result, but still had 4 points of health upon death. So, the user healed herself for 10 health first, the weapon then drained 7 points of health and it killed the user. This might be a bug and needs further testing.''

<pre{{log2}}>
>eat my leaf

You take a bite of your acantha leaf.
YUCK! That stuff tastes horrible!
'''A thorn-shaped appendage digs into your flesh from your sickly green staff! A foreign sounding voice enters your mind, "Pay the price of wielding me!"'''

Your body pulses momentarily into semi transparency and then returns to normal.
A dark shadow seems to detach itself from your body, swiftly dissipating into the air.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

===Blood Flares===
All parasitic weapons come with blood [[flare]]s- based on the [[Slash critical table|slash]] table. These flares take up the script slot but leave the standard [[flare]] slot open, allowing for further upgrades or [[Consecrate (1604)]] flares. As the owner gains affinity, the rate of the [[flare]]s increases- eventually reaching twice the standard [[flare]] rate by affinity level 9. Additionally, phantom damage [[weighting]] is randomly applied to some of the strikes- allowing them to do more damage than typically indicated by the [[Slash critical table|slash]] table for the corresponding wound. At affinity level 9, blood [[flare]]s become comparable in damage to [[Plasma critical table|plasma]] [[flare]]s.

===Parasitic Bond===
There are two versions of the Parasitic Bond ability that drains health. One is innate, on a 30 minute cooldown. This will trigger 10% of the time. The other can be triggered manually once every 10 minutes. This heals based on damage dealt, and increases in potency as the wielder moves toward affinity 9. This has no cost.
===Perfect Host===
At Level 9 Affinity, "Perfect Host" (the maximum), the weapons add +10 to [[attack strength]] (AS), [[defensive strength]] (DS), [[Constitution]] stat, [[Dexterity]] stat, and [[Strength]] stat. It also provides +10 combat effectiveness points (equivalent heavy) damage padding. These benefits last for two minutes and have a one hour cooldown period.

If wielding two Perfect Host Parasitic Weapons, the bonus from a host won't stack if using more than one unlocked weapon; however, you can use the boost on one weapon, then use the boost on the second once the first one runs out, thus doubling the top benefit of the weapons from two (2) minutes to four (4) per hour.

Consecrate (1604)

2017-09-04T05:04:38Z

NICOLELARANS: added additional context on what does and does not prevent guiding light flares

{{spell
| mnemonic = CONSECRATE
| duration = 50% additional swings plus special
| span = [[Solid Block]]
| type = Utility
| subtype = Weapon Enhancement plus special
| skill = None
| components = [[Bless Item (304)|Blessable]] weapon/food/drink
| availability = Special
| navigation = {{paladin base navigation}}
}}
{{TOC limit|2}}
Calling on the favor of his patron, the Paladin can '''Consecrate''' weapons as a preparatory measure, as well as to enhance their effectiveness against the [[undead]]. When cast upon a holy weapon ([[sanctified]]), the Paladin may channel her spiritual energy into the weapon, causing it to randomly [[flare]] with [[Plasma critical table|plasma criticals]] up to two times against a foe. The spell will also allow the Paladin to reduce or eliminate the amount of spoil in certain food and drink items.

[[Shield]]s and [[armor]] can also be consecrated, similar to weapons, either for blessing against undead or to apply flares to sanctified items. Consecrated holy armor does not have reactive flares but can flare on offensive combat maneuvers.

''Consecrate will also open the [[The Graveyard|Graveyard]] gate near [[Wehnimer's Landing]]!''

== Ordinary Weapons ==

When cast on a non-sanctified weapon, Consecrate will increase the duration (number of swings) of the next cast of [[Bless Item (304)]], as well as the [[Order of Voln]]'s [[Symbol of Blessing]], by 50% when cast beforehand, within 10 minutes of the blessing. Furthermore, it can be cast upon weapons that are normally unblessable to make them blessed for one swing or one minute, whichever is expended first.

Consecrate is also used to prepare a non-sanctified weapon for [[Sanctify (1625)]].

To use Consecrate in this manner:
#Cast '''Consecrate (1604)''' at the weapon
#Cast [[Bless Item (304)]], [[Symbol of Blessing]], or [[Sanctify (1625)]] at the weapon within the next 10 minutes

=== Lore Benefits ===

[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] provides a +5% blessing duration increase per rank (added to the base 50%), up to a maximum of 100% duration increase at 10 ranks.

== Holy Weapons (Guiding Light) ==

When cast on a [[sanctified]] weapon, Consecrate bestows '''Guiding Light''' [[flare]]s on the weapon, causing random plasma criticals. Consecrate may even be cast upon magical sanctified weapons if the caster's Paladin Spell ranks + Spiritual Lore, Blessing ranks = 15 or greater. The plasma criticals will flare on any type of creature, but only for Paladins and Clerics who wield the holy weapon.

The spell has a base duration of 50 swings. [[Paladin Base]] spell training will increase the number of swings by +1 for every Paladin spell rank over 8 to a maximum of 25 additional swings (75 total swings).

Each time the weapon fails to flare, the base percent chance it will flare increases each successful hit until a flare occurs.

Generally, a [[sanctified]] weapon only receives "Guiding Light" [[flare]]s if the weapon does not already possess [[flare]]s or [[weighting]] above heavy. While most [[flare]]s interfere with "Guiding Light" [[flare]]s, the following script-based [[flare]]s do not: [[blink weapon|Blink]], [[Bubble flares]], [[Knockout flare]]s, [[Poleaxe flares]], [[Parasitic weapon]], [[Rotflares]], and [[Ethereal weapon]]s. [[Flare]]s or [[weighting]] resulting from [[Bane weapon|Creature Bane]] will not interfere with "Guiding Light" [[flare]]s.

If the weapon has critical or damage [[weighting]], the potency of the Guiding Light flares will be diminished. This effect starts at 1 point of effective combat weighting, and essentially caps out at 10 points of weighting ("heavily weighted"). Trying to apply Guiding Light flares on something heavy or over will block it outright.

=== Lore Benefits ===

[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] increases the duration, adding +1 swing for every rank. The base chance for a second flare increases by 4% per [[Summation|seed 3 summation]], from an additional 4% chance at 3 ranks to a maximum bonus of 68% at 187 ranks.

[[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] increases the potency of the secondary lore flares by increasing the critical rank by 0.2 per seed 6 summation. For example, 40 ranks in Spiritual Lore, Summoning will increase the critical rank by +1. Intermediate training also helps. If the Paladin's lore ranks would give a 0.8 increase in critical rank, then the critical rank level would be increased by +1 80% of the time. This critical rank increase only affects the ''second'' flare (whose chance of occurring is determined by Spiritual Lore, Blessings as described above).

== Food and Drink ==

Spoiling food and drink items will be renewed. [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] training keeps food/drink fresh for a longer period of time.

Consecrate will have diminished returns when reducing the spoilage of [[Manna]] bread, determined by the Paladin's skill. The mana regeneration rate will be set to 3 + seed 2 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings. The maximum mana lore bonus will be set to 10 + (5 * seed 5 [[summation]] of Spiritual Lore, Blessings). If the existing effectiveness is less than the Paladin's skill set, then the stats are not affected, but the food is no longer spoiled.

Holy Weapon (1625)

2017-09-04T05:04:05Z

NICOLELARANS:

{{Spell
| name = Sanctify
| number = 1625
| duration = Permanent
| mnemonic = SANCTIFY
| type = Offensive
| subtype = Weapon Enhancement
| weapon = +[[Attack strength|AS]], Special
| enhancement = None

}}{{otheruses4|the Sanctify spell|general information about sanctified items|sanctified}}
'''Sanctify''' is a [[Paladin Base]] spell that allows a [[paladin]] to bond with a given weapon, [[sanctified|sanctifying]] it and giving it a few additional abilities depending on the properties of the weapon bonded.

== Procedure ==

To bond to a weapon, find a [[Holy places|holy place]], kneel down, and CAST at your weapon. If the weapon is not already sanctified, you must first cast [[Consecrate (1604)]] on it to prepare the weapon. To remove a bond, instead CHANNEL at the weapon. A bonded weapon is unswingable by anyone other than the paladin bonded to it. Bonding to a new weapon will sever your connection with the old one, but it will remain unswingable until the next time the paladin touches it.

The maximum attainable bonding level increases with further spell training the in [[Paladin Base]]; the first bonding level is available upon learning Sanctify, and an additional bonding level is unlocked for each Paladin Base rank up to 1629. The paladin must retain this training to sustain the bond level.

To actually increase the bonding level, the Paladin must use the weapon in combat. Presuming Sanctify functions under the same mechanics as [[Weapon Bonding]] for [[Warriors]], it was shown that the bond is increased after Rank# * 100 same-level kills (SLKs). Knowledge of Sanctify and 100 SLKs achieves the first rank; 26 Paladin Base ranks and an additional 200 SLKs achieves the second rank; and so on up to 29 Paladin Base ranks and 500 additional SLKs for the fifth rank. As a summation, in total 1500 SLKs are required to fully bond to a weapon; however, note that SLKs are not counted without the proper Spell Research training.

== Sanctify Benefits ==
Bonding to a weapon gives a bonus to maneuvers that utilize the weapon and increase the paladin's effectiveness and defense against [[Combat Maneuvers]] while using the weapon. Additionally, the weapon acts as an [[enhancive item]]. These benefits increase as the rank of bonding increases with the weapon.

At the first bonding level, the weapon will gain [[Consecrate (1604)]] [[flare]]s, but generally only if the weapon does not already possess [[flare]]s or [[weighting]] above heavy. While most [[flare]]s interfere with [[Consecrate (1604)]] [[flare]]s, the following script-based [[flare]]s do not: [[blink weapon|Blink]], [[Bubble flares]], [[Knockout flare]]s, [[Poleaxe flares]], [[Parasitic weapon]], [[Rotflares]], and [[Ethereal weapon]]s. [[Flare]]s or [[weighting]] resulting from [[Bane weapon|Creature Bane]] will not interfere with [[Consecrate (1604)]] [[flare]]s.

At the third bonding level, the weapon will be capable of accepting a spell from the paladin to be triggered later before an attack with{{boldmono| [[BESEECH]]}}. The spells that the weapon can accept depend on a variety of factors, including which sphere of magic the spell comes from, if it is a spell the paladin knows, the level of bonding the paladin has with the weapon, and the number of ranks the paladin possesses in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] (seed 2 of the [[summation chart]]).

At the final bonding level, level 5, the weapon gains the ability to return to the paladin when disarmed or thrown.

CASTing 1625 at the weapon will check the current bond.

== Infusing a Spell to a Bonded Weapon ==
To infuse a spell to a bonded weapon, simply prepare the spell, then use the{{boldmono| [[INFUSE (verb)]] }}on the weapon. Spells known by the paladin, or that can be known by the paladin count as the spell level of the spell being placed into the bonded weapon. In the case of spells known by the paladin, multiple charges can be infused, as the bonded weapon can hold a baseline of 25 mana; the mana will be infused at the time of imbuing and not activation. Spells can also be infused for a single use from scrolls. Spiritual spells that cannot be learned by the paladin (such as from the [[Major Spiritual]] spell circle) count as 1.25× the spell's level. Hybrid spells that are semi-spiritual in nature, such as spells from the [[Sorcerer Base]] circle, count as 1.5× the spell's level. Spells that are not spiritual in nature count as double their spell level. The infusion process will accept any spell that falls within the level range of the bonded weapon's ability to hold. That maximum level is the following:

{{equation box|<math>\mathrm{MaxSpellLevel}=4(\mathrm{Bonding Level} - 2) + \mathrm{SummoningLoreRanks}_{\mathrm{seed}\ 2}</math>}}

Therefore, with bonding level 5 and 9 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]], a paladin could infuse a 15th level spell (e.g. [[Divine Strike (1615)]]) into the weapon. In order to infuse a spell such as [[Bind (214)]], which counts as a level 18 spell, the paladin would need a level 5 bond with his weapon and would need 27 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]], and a scroll to cast the spell from. [[Pain (711)]] could be used if the paladin has 20 ranks of Summoning Lore. It should be noted, with a fully bonded weapon, only native spells, and no lore training, a Paladin can only infuse [[Pious Trial (1602)]] and [[Unbalance (110)]].

To trigger the flare,{{mono| BESEECH }}the weapon, and it will preemptively flare before the next attack.

====[[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]]====
In addition to increasing the maximum spell level that can be infused, the mana capacity of the bonded weapon is increased by +1 per rank of Spirit Summoning.

==Messaging==
Bonding with a weapon:
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at WEAPON.
As you call upon the power of DEITY, a [deity-dependent] shaft of light suddenly envelops your WEAPON. Tendrils of energy begin to flow out of it and wrap themselves around you, as if surrounding you in an ethereal embrace. Your awareness of your surroundings fade as you begin to experience visions of the WEAPON from its moment of creation to the present. After a brief moment, your vision returns to normal. The shaft of light and tendrils of energy are gone, but somehow you still feel a lingering bond between you and the WEAPON.
Silvery tendrils rise up from your WEAPON and quickly dissipate.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
</pre>

If you forget to [[Consecrate (1604)]] the weapon prior to bonding with it:
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at WEAPON.
A dim shaft of light surrounds the WEAPON, but seems to have no effect on it. Perhaps the weapon should be first cleansed of impurities.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
</pre>

Each time the bonding level increases, the following is reported along with the creature's death message:
<pre{{log2}}>
You feel your spiritual bond with your WEAPON strengthen.
</pre>

First unbonding cast:
<pre{{log2}}>
You channel at WEAPON
You focus your concentration on undoing the spiritual bond between you and the WEAPON. As your magic begins to penetrate the star, you encounter a strange resistance from within it. You attempt to overcome it, but the power of your spell fades away too soon. You think that you might be able to overcome it with another attempt.
</pre>

Unbonding:
<pre{{log2}}>
You channel at WEAPON.
This time you are prepared for the resistance within the WEAPON and you manage to quickly overcome it. You feel the remnants of the spiritual bond between you and the WEAPON quickly fade away.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Holy Weapon (1625)

}}{{otheruses4|the Sanctify spell|general information about sanctified items|sanctified}}
'''Sanctify''' is a [[Paladin Base]] spell that allows a [[paladin]] to bond with a given weapon, [[sanctified|sanctifying]] it and giving it a few additional abilities depending on the properties of the weapon bonded.

== Procedure ==

To bond to a weapon, find a [[Holy places|holy place]], kneel down, and CAST at your weapon. If the weapon is not already sanctified, you must first cast [[Consecrate (1604)]] on it to prepare the weapon. To remove a bond, instead CHANNEL at the weapon. A bonded weapon is unswingable by anyone other than the paladin bonded to it. Bonding to a new weapon will sever your connection with the old one, but it will remain unswingable until the next time the paladin touches it.

The maximum attainable bonding level increases with further spell training the in [[Paladin Base]]; the first bonding level is available upon learning Sanctify, and an additional bonding level is unlocked for each Paladin Base rank up to 1629. The paladin must retain this training to sustain the bond level.

To actually increase the bonding level, the Paladin must use the weapon in combat. Presuming Sanctify functions under the same mechanics as [[Weapon Bonding]] for [[Warriors]], it was shown that the bond is increased after Rank# * 100 same-level kills (SLKs). Knowledge of Sanctify and 100 SLKs achieves the first rank; 26 Paladin Base ranks and an additional 200 SLKs achieves the second rank; and so on up to 29 Paladin Base ranks and 500 additional SLKs for the fifth rank. As a summation, in total 1500 SLKs are required to fully bond to a weapon; however, note that SLKs are not counted without the proper Spell Research training.

== Sanctify Benefits ==
Bonding to a weapon gives a bonus to maneuvers that utilize the weapon and increase the paladin's effectiveness and defense against [[Combat Maneuvers]] while using the weapon. Additionally, the weapon acts as an [[enhancive item]]. These benefits increase as the rank of bonding increases with the weapon.

At the first bonding level, the weapon will gain [[Consecrate (1604)]] [[flare]]s, but generally only if the weapon does not already possess [[flare]]s or [[weighting]] above heavy. While most [[flare]]s interfere with [[Consecrate (1604)]] [[flare]]s, the following script-based [[flare]]s do not: [[blink weapon|Blink]], [[Bubble flares]], [[Knockout flare]]s, [[Poleaxe flares]], [[Parasitic weapon]], [[Rotflares]], and [[Ethereal weapon]]s.

At the third bonding level, the weapon will be capable of accepting a spell from the paladin to be triggered later before an attack with{{boldmono| [[BESEECH]]}}. The spells that the weapon can accept depend on a variety of factors, including which sphere of magic the spell comes from, if it is a spell the paladin knows, the level of bonding the paladin has with the weapon, and the number of ranks the paladin possesses in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] (seed 2 of the [[summation chart]]).

At the final bonding level, level 5, the weapon gains the ability to return to the paladin when disarmed or thrown.

CASTing 1625 at the weapon will check the current bond.
