Your [[character]]'s current and maximum spirit points can be found using the [[HEALTH (verb)|HEALTH]] command. The amount of maximum spirit points a character has is determined by that character's [[Aura]] statistic divided by 10, rounded (i.e. 95 Aura will give 10 maximum spirit.)

Different races will recover spirit at different intervals, or [[spirit regeneration]] rates. In addition, [[Cleric]]s and [[Empath]]s can [[MEDITATE (verb)|MEDITATE]] to gain spirit back faster, as is done with [[health]] and [[mana]].

==Uses of Spirit Points==

* Spirit points play an integral role in many of the signs of the [[Council of Light]].
* Some [[undead]] can drain spirit with a successful physical attack followed by a successful [[warding]] roll.
* Certain advanced [[Alchemy]] recipes require the alchemist to [[CHANNEL|channel]] spirit points into the formulation. (This always consumes 2 points.)
* Casting certain [[Cleric]] spells can require spirit points, notably [[Well of Life (308)]] and [[Raise Dead (318)]].

Having fewer than 1 spirit point results in a [[spirit death]].
