Calling on the favor of his patron, the Paladin can '''Consecrate''' weapons as a preparatory measure, as well as to enhance their effectiveness against the [[undead]]. When cast upon a holy weapon ([[sanctified]]), the Paladin may channel her spiritual energy into the weapon, causing it to randomly [[flare]] with [[Plasma critical table|plasma criticals]] up to two times against a foe. The spell will also allow the Paladin to reduce or eliminate the amount of spoil in certain food and drink items. |
|||
[[Shield]]s and [[armor]] can also be consecrated, similar to weapons, either for blessing against undead or to apply flares to sanctified items. |
|||
'''Consecrate''' is one of the few utility spells in the [[Paladin Base]], and thus serves a number of different functions, from popping cursed gates, renewing manna bread, extending blesses, and providing sanctified weapons, shields, and armor with plasma flares. |
|||
''Consecrate will also open the [[The Graveyard|Graveyard]] gate near [[Wehnimer's Landing]]!'' |
|||
Consecrate is a combinations of two now deprecated spells, Purify (1604) and Guiding Light (1608), packing all their features into one. |
|||
== Ordinary Weapons == |
|||
==Non Holy Items== |
|||
*Consecrate will open the Graveyard gate near [[Wehnimer's Landing]]. |
|||
When cast on a non-sanctified weapon, Consecrate will increase the duration (number of swings) of the next cast of [[Bless Item (304)]], as well as the [[Order of Voln]]'s [[Symbol of Blessing]], by 50% when cast beforehand, within 10 minutes of the blessing. Furthermore, it can be cast upon weapons that are normally unblessable to make them blessed for one swing or one minute, whichever is expended first. |
|||
*Spoiling food items will be somewhat renewed, whether a mere stale tart or [[Manna (203)|manna bread]]: |
|||
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>Silvery tendrils rise up and wreathe their way around Paladin's nightshade balm. As they continue to swirl, you notice some of the balm's blemishes completely disappear.</pre> |
|||
Consecrate is also used to prepare a non-sanctified weapon for [[Sanctify (1625)]]. |
|||
*For weapons it can increase the duration of [[Bless Item (304)]] or [[Symbol of Blessing]]. Consecrate is cast at the weapon first, and then the blessing must be performed within 10 minutes, which is extended by a base amount of an additional 50%. Alternatively, it can also prepare a non-holy weapon for [[Sanctify (1625)]]. |
|||
To use Consecrate in this manner: |

Purify will have diminished returns when reducing the spoilage of Manna bread, determined by the Paladin's skill. The mana regeneration rate will be set to 3 + seed 2 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings. The maximum mana lore bonus will be set to 10 + (5 * seed 5 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings). If the existing effectiveness is less than the Paladin's skill set, then the stats are not affected, but the food is no longer spoiled. |

[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] provides a +5% blessing duration increase per rank (added to the base 50%), up to a maximum of 100% duration increase at 10 ranks. |

When cast on a [[sanctified]] weapon, Consecrate bestows '''Guiding Light''' [[flare]]s on the weapon, causing random plasma criticals. Consecrate may even be cast upon magical sanctified weapons if the caster's Paladin Spell ranks + Spiritual Lore, Blessing ranks = 15 or greater. The plasma criticals will flare on any type of creature, but only for Paladins and Clerics who wield the holy weapon. |
||
The spell has a base duration of 50 swings. [[Paladin Base]] spell training will increase the number of swings by +1 for every Paladin spell rank over 8 to a maximum of 25 additional swings (75 total swings). |
|||
Each time the weapon fails to flare, the base percent chance it will flare increases each successful hit until a flare occurs. |
|||
Weighted and Padded items may have flares added to them but at a decreased efficiency. As a general guideline, anything that assess at heavy and over will not accept Consecrate flares. |
|||
If the weapon has critical or damage [[weighting]], the potency of the flares will be diminished. This effect starts at 1 point of effective combat weighting, and essentially caps out at 10 points of weighting ("heavily weighted"). Trying to apply Guiding Light flares on something heavy or over will block it outright. |

=== Lore Benefits === |

;[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] |
|||
[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] increases the duration, adding +1 swing for every rank. The base chance for a second flare increases by 4% per [[Summation|seed 3 summation]], from an additional 4% chance at 3 ranks to a maximum bonus of 68% at 187 ranks. |
|||
*Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings will increase the number of swings (+1 per lore rank). This bonus is added to the 50 swing base duration. |
|||
*The base chance for a second flare is increased with training in the Spiritual Lore, Blessings skill. There is an additional 4% chance at 3 ranks with a maximum bonus of 68% at 187 ranks (4% per [[Summation chart|seed 3 bonus]]). |
|||
[[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] increases the potency of the secondary lore flares by increasing the critical rank by 0.2 per seed 6 summation. For example, 40 ranks in Spiritual Lore, Summoning will increase the critical rank by +1. Intermediate training also helps. If the Paladin's lore ranks would give a 0.8 increase in critical rank, then the critical rank level would be increased by +1 80% of the time. |
|||
;[[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] |
|||
== Food and Drink == |
|||
Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning increases the potency of the secondary flare by increasing the crit rank by .2 per Seed 6. Therefore, 40 ranks in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] will increase the crit rank by 1. Intermediate training also helps. If the Paladin's lore ranks would give a .8 increase in crit rank, then the crit rank level would be increased by 1 80% of the time. |

Spoiling food and drink items will be renewed. [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] training keeps food/drink fresh for a longer period of time. |

Calling on the favor of his patron, the Paladin can Consecrate weapons as a preparatory measure, as well as to enhance their effectiveness against the undead. When cast upon a holy weapon (sanctified), the Paladin may channel her spiritual energy into the weapon, causing it to randomly flare with plasma criticals up to two times against a foe. The spell will also allow the Paladin to reduce or eliminate the amount of spoil in certain food and drink items.
Shields and armor can also be consecrated, similar to weapons, either for blessing against undead or to apply flares to sanctified items.
Consecrate will also open the Graveyard gate near Wehnimer's Landing!
Ordinary Weapons
When cast on a non-sanctified weapon, Consecrate will increase the duration (number of swings) of the next cast of Bless Item (304), as well as the Order of Voln's Symbol of Blessing, by 50% when cast beforehand, within 10 minutes of the blessing. Furthermore, it can be cast upon weapons that are normally unblessable to make them blessed for one swing or one minute, whichever is expended first.
Consecrate is also used to prepare a non-sanctified weapon for Sanctify (1625).
To use Consecrate in this manner:
- Cast Consecrate (1604) at the weapon
- Cast Bless Item (304), Symbol of Blessing, or Sanctify (1625) at the weapon within the next 10 minutes
Lore Benefits
Spiritual Lore, Blessings provides a +5% blessing duration increase per rank (added to the base 50%), up to a maximum of 100% duration increase at 10 ranks.
Holy Weapons (Guiding Light)
When cast on a sanctified weapon, Consecrate bestows Guiding Light flares on the weapon, causing random plasma criticals. Consecrate may even be cast upon magical sanctified weapons if the caster's Paladin Spell ranks + Spiritual Lore, Blessing ranks = 15 or greater. The plasma criticals will flare on any type of creature, but only for Paladins and Clerics who wield the holy weapon.
The spell has a base duration of 50 swings. Paladin Base spell training will increase the number of swings by +1 for every Paladin spell rank over 8 to a maximum of 25 additional swings (75 total swings).
Each time the weapon fails to flare, the base percent chance it will flare increases each successful hit until a flare occurs.
If the weapon has critical or damage weighting, the potency of the flares will be diminished. This effect starts at 1 point of effective combat weighting, and essentially caps out at 10 points of weighting ("heavily weighted"). Trying to apply Guiding Light flares on something heavy or over will block it outright.
Lore Benefits
Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases the duration, adding +1 swing for every rank. The base chance for a second flare increases by 4% per seed 3 summation, from an additional 4% chance at 3 ranks to a maximum bonus of 68% at 187 ranks.
Spiritual Lore, Summoning increases the potency of the secondary lore flares by increasing the critical rank by 0.2 per seed 6 summation. For example, 40 ranks in Spiritual Lore, Summoning will increase the critical rank by +1. Intermediate training also helps. If the Paladin's lore ranks would give a 0.8 increase in critical rank, then the critical rank level would be increased by +1 80% of the time.
Food and Drink
Spoiling food and drink items will be renewed. Spiritual Lore, Blessings training keeps food/drink fresh for a longer period of time.
Consecrate will have diminished returns when reducing the spoilage of Manna bread, determined by the Paladin's skill. The mana regeneration rate will be set to 3 + seed 2 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings. The maximum mana lore bonus will be set to 10 + (5 * seed 5 summation of Spiritual Lore, Blessings). If the existing effectiveness is less than the Paladin's skill set, then the stats are not affected, but the food is no longer spoiled.
