Template:Minor Spiritual buff spells

The Minor Spiritual spell circle is available to clerics, empaths, monks paladins, rangers, rogues, sorcerers and warriors. It includes the following spells which are generally not self-cast limited and can be stacked, except where noted.

• Spirit Warding I (101): +10 spiritual TD, +10 bolt DS.
• Spirit Barrier (102): +20 DS, -20 AS to melee, ranged and unarmed attacks, additional DS and more negative AS for more MnS spells known. Generally not recommended to stack this spell on characters that use physical attacks due to the reduced AS, but it can be useful while foraging or climbing over difficult obstacles. Spell can be stopped if known. Magic users may want to stack this spell since it does not negatively affect CS.
• Spirit Defense (103): +10 DS. Stackable when self-cast, refreshable when cast on others.
• Disease Resistance (104): Additional warding against disease.
• Poison Resistance (105): Additional warding against poison.
• Spirit Warding II (107): +15 spiritual TD, +25 bolt DS.
• Water Walking (112): Allows a character to walk on water. Prevents slow down and allows dragging in marshy areas.
• Fasthr's Reward (115): Allows a second chance to defend against a failed warding. Self-cast limited.
• Spirit Strike (117): +75 AS on a single strike (or two minutes), not stackable.
• Lesser Shroud (120): +15 DS, +20 spiritual TD. Self-cast limited.
• Wall of Force (140): +100 DS, refreshable, short duration.

If these spells are known to you:

• It is typically useful to stack 101, 103, 107, 115 and 120 on yourself while resting and prior to going out for a hunt.
• 104 or 105 can be helpful when hunting/skinning certain creatures that are likely to disease/poison you. 105 can also be useful for foraging.
• If you live in River's Rest and intend to cross Maelstrom Bay, casting and stacking 112 is very useful. It is also useful in marshy areas (e.g. outside the Marsh Keep or in the Vipershroud), to keep from getting stuck in the mud.
• 117 can be useful for dangerous creature tasks through the Adventurer's Guild, when helping lower level characters with a hunt or in general if you just need the AS boost after finding a creature.
• 140 is very useful while foraging, searching for heirlooms, climbing over difficult obstacles, during invasions or other risky situations. The duration is typically not considered long enough to make the mana cost worthwhile for regular hunts.
