The Paladin's faith is said to have the power to lift the burden from their shoulders. When cast, this spell calls upon divine influence to improve the center of focus for spell casting, effectively reducing the potential hindrance any armor might impose.
'''Faith's Clarity''' reduces [[spell hindrance]] for the caster.


'''Faith's Clarity''' grants a reduction of 1% to [[Paladin Base]] spell hindrance for every 5 Paladin spells known, up to a maximum of 10% reduction at 50 Paladin spell ranks. In addition, the spell reduces [[Minor Spiritual]] spell hindrance to match the caster's Paladin spell hindrance. As such, a Paladin with 50 ranks of the Paladin [[spell circle]] who is fully trained for full plate armor will have 3% spell hindrance when casting Paladin or Minor Spiritual spells.

The benefit from Faith's Clarity is '''NOT''' cumulative with the paladin's [[Armored Fluidity]] [[Armor Specialization|armor specialization]].
There is a 5% hindrance removal from the base hindrance of the armor when casting spiritual sphere spells ([[Minor Spiritual]], [[Major Spiritual]], [[Cleric Base]], [[Paladin Base]], [[Ranger Base]]). This reduced hindrance is also applied to Faith's Clarity when it is being cast. The effect temporarily reduces the [[armor use]] training requirement for spell hindrance, so casters may see greater hindrance reductions if they are not fully trained for their armor. For more details on the formula, see the [[spell hindrance]] article.

The benefit from Faith's Clarity is cumulative with the paladin's [[Armored Fluidity]] [[Armor Specialization|armor specialization]]. However, Armored Fluidity is a flat percentile reduction and does not change the armor use requirements.

==Lore bonus==
Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] further reduces the armor type's base hindrance by an additional 1% per 3 ranks, to a maximum of an additional 5% at 15 ranks (for a total hindrance reduction of 10%). This lore bonus is only applied when the spell is self-cast by a Paladin.

The Paladin's faith is said to have the power to lift the burden from their shoulders. When cast, this spell calls upon divine influence to improve the center of focus for spell casting, effectively reducing the potential hindrance any armor might impose.

Faith's Clarity grants a reduction of 1% to Paladin Base spell hindrance for every 5 Paladin spells known, up to a maximum of 10% reduction at 50 Paladin spell ranks. In addition, the spell reduces Minor Spiritual spell hindrance to match the caster's Paladin spell hindrance. As such, a Paladin with 50 ranks of the Paladin spell circle who is fully trained for full plate armor will have 3% spell hindrance when casting Paladin or Minor Spiritual spells.

The benefit from Faith's Clarity is NOT cumulative with the paladin's Armored Fluidity armor specialization.

Messaging

Casting:

The divine power grants you lucid understanding of the spiritual and you become much more clearly focused.
