Self Control allows the caster to focus herself greater and provide stronger defense. This spell provides numerous bonuses, such as an increase to melee defensive strength and spiritual target defense. Additionally, this spell allows the recipient a greater chance to spot and disarm traps, resist fear-based attacks, and betters the aim of ranged attackers. The defensive strength granted by this spell improves by one for every two ranks in Ranger Base ranks above 13 and the aiming bonus granted to archers and hurlers also increases with ranks. Target defense increases with training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings (Seed 5 on the summation chart).
Unlike other spells with increasing bonuses, the mana cost does not increase and always remains a flat 13 mana.
