Major Sanctuary will transport the caster and their group into a special place of safety in which to rest and rescue. If the caster has a patron Arkati or Spirit, this being's spiritual servants will provide them with a unique place of refuge. Otherwise, lesser spirits local to the realm construct the sanctuary. The caster can specify which natural sanctuary to transport to by using a runestone.

Trinkets were released that would confer a customized sanctuary location upon use, such as those available as games prizes at Ebon Gate 2017. At this time, if a character has a customized sanctuary, they will not be able to use a runestone to override the custom sanctuary.

Successful creation of a Major Sanctuary is determined by level, Major Spiritual spell ranks, Wisdom bonus and Spiritual Mana Control (SMC). There is a 5% failure chance that can't be trained away.

The area in which the spell is cast also has an effect on the success. Areas that will dispel a Major Sanctuary include Temple Wyneb, Old Ta'Faendryl, Griffin's Keen, The Scatter, and the Ruined Temple.

Mana Control Benefit

Training in Spiritual Mana Control increases the caster's success rate in creating a major sanctuary. SMC is said to be the most important factor for success, and that without it, the other factors have very little effect.

[Eye of the Storm Sanctuary]
Protected within the eye of the storm, the waters of the grey chamber lap gently at your feet. Beyond the calm and quiet of the sanctuary is a raging hurricane of whipping winds and lightning streaked skies. Directly above, the sky is clear and the quiet sounds of a gull drift to your ears.

The blinding flash of lightning shatters the chamber in a cloud of wind and light, causing it to dissolve around you...
