Benediction provides a base bonus of +5 to physical attack strength, bolt attack strength and defensive strength. Group members also gain the AS/DS benefits.
For each rank of Cleric base spells known:
- the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration.
- the base attack strength and defensive strength bonus is increased by +1 for every 2 Cleric Base ranks above 7 to a maximum bonus of +15 at rank 27. This bonus applies to both the caster and group members.
- the base bolt attack strength bonus is increased by +1 for every 2 Cleric Base ranks (up to level) above 27 to a maximum bonus of +51 at rank 99 at level 99.
- A simple way to determine the bolt AS bonus is to subtract 2 from the mana cost.
- Overtraining in Cleric Base spell ranks past the caster's level will provide no additional benefit.
- Benediction does NOT provide a DS bonus against bolt attacks.
Bless Maintenance: While under the effect of 307 (either direct or through being part of a group), weapons will not consume charges of Bless (304). This includes arrows used by ranged weapons. This does not grant a blessing effect, it only prevents losing charges.
This spell is selfcast only.
Group Mechanics
If the caster is not leading the group, it is necessary to cast Benediction at the group leader. Maximum group AS/DS bonuses are +15. While the spell initially benefits all members of the cleric's group, proximity to the cleric is necessary to maintain the benefit, as it is the strength of the cleric's conviction that bolsters their inherent abilities. The game intermittently checks to ensure that a character is in the room with the cleric that initially cast Benediction and will end the spell if they are not.
Mana Cost
The base cost is 7 mana plus 1 additional mana per bonus point past rank 7. The maximum cost is 53 mana at level 99 with 99 spell ranks.
- E.g., level 65 character: round [(65 ÷ 2) + 3] = 35.5 rounds up to 36 maximum mana with 65 spell ranks.
Lore Benefit
Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings provides for a chance for the group to receive a +15 AS bonus on a given attack at a chance of 1% per seed 6 summation of ranks.
Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks 6 13 21 30 40 51 63 76 90 105 121 138 156 175 195 216 238 Chance for +15 AS bonus 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10% 11% 12% 13% 14% 15% 16% 17%
