The spell Mantle of Faith provides a protective, cloaking barrier. This dully illuminated mantle adds +5 to generic Defense Strength (DS), as well as enhances the Paladin's ability to ward off spiritual magic by increasing the spiritual Target Defense (TD) +5.

The Paladin can also call upon her Patron Arkati to cloak another person in the mantle of her faith. The target will receive the base +5 DS/TD bonus and the effect is not stackable.

Lore Benefits

Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases the bonus by +1 at two ranks, with a maximum additional bonus of +18 at 189 ranks. This bonus results in increased mana cost: +1 Mana Point (MP) for every +1 DS/TD above +5 DS/TD. This lore bonus is only applied when self-cast by a Paladin.

Spiritual Lore, Blessings bonus thresholds: 2, 5, 9, 14, 20, 27, 35, 44, 54, 65, 77, 90, 104, 119, 135, 152, 170, and 189 ranks
