== Mechanics of Spirit Slayer ==


Spirit Slayer lasts for 30 seconds and is [[refreshable]] (does not stack duration). While the effect is active, it has a chance of duplicating any single-target attack spell that comes from one's own spell knowledge (spells from [[scroll]]s and [[magic item]]s will not trigger the spirit). Each time the spirit is activated it will duplicate the attack precisely (spell used and foe targeted). Recasts are automated and instantaneous, and will never cost the user additional mana.

=== Factors Affecting Spirit Slayer ===
{{addmetext}}

The level of the spell greatly influences the spirit's capability to replicate it. The probability of recasts decreases exponentially as the level of attack spell increases.

⚫
The chance for recasts is increased by training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]]. The base probability for a second strike begins at 60% and is increased by 2% for every bonus corresponding to seed 1 of the [[summation chart]] (max 98% first recast at 190 ranks). Subsequent recasts are exponentially less likely than the preceding one, but the probability for each additional recast is also increased by this training.

The boost in power can be increased by training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]]. A base of +25 AS or CS is added to all recasts the spirit makes. This bonus is increased by 1 for every bonus corresponding to seed 5 of the [[summation chart]] (max of +45 total at 290 ranks).

Spirit Slayer summons a spirit which appears as a "mote of white light" surrounding the caster. This spirit lies dormant for the duration but can "flare with blinding brilliance," re-casting single-target offensive spells cast by its wearer. The effect also imparts a bonus of 25 to the bolt attack strength (AS) or casting strength (CS) during subsequent attacks. This bonus can be increased with training in Spiritual Mana Control. The spirit will cease its assault immediately if the original target dies.

The lower the level of spell, the more likely the spirit will recast. The probability of recasts decreases exponentially as the level of attack spell increases. Each attack made has a random chance to ignite the spirit, causing it to repeat the attack one or more times. The possibility of recasts will continue through the duration of the spell, and can be improved with training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning.

Spirit Slayer lasts for 30 seconds and is refreshable. While the effect is active, it has a chance of duplicating any single-target attack spell that the caster knows (spells from scrolls and magic items will not trigger the spirit). Each time the spirit is activated it will cast the same previous spell used against the same foe targeted in the same manner (e.g. via CAST, CHANNEL, or EVOKE). Recasts are automated and instantaneous, and will never cost the user additional mana.

Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning increases the chance for the spirit to activate and recast a spell by 60% + 2% per seed 1 summation of ranks (max 98% first recast at 190 ranks, or 100% at 210 ranks enhanced). Subsequent recasts are exponentially less likely than the preceding one, but the probability for each additional recast is also increased by this training.
