Prayer of Holding is one of the first spells taught to burgeoning Clerics, allowing them to interfere with the power controlling undead monsters. Creatures thus held are rendered immobile, unable to attack and given a substantial penalty when attempting to defend.
This spell is in many ways similar to the Major Spiritual spell Bind, but has a lower cost and works only on the undead.
- Duration
- The duration of this spell is based upon the spell endroll but not in a simple manner. The minimum duration is 8 seconds (which you are more likely to get on a 101 endroll but still may get on a 200 endroll).
- Cost
- Prayer of Holding has a cost in mana equal to a quarter of the level of the creature (i.e. [level]/4). It should be noted that while the cost scales up when CAST, there is no change in cost when invoked from a Holy Receptacle. Thus, many higher-level clerics hunting undead will prepare one or two gems containing this spell to conserve mana.
Lore Benefits
Spiritual Lore, Religion increases the spell's strength when a target is held.
