'''Self Control''' allows the caster to focus better and provides a bonus to [[melee]] [[defensive strength]] (DS) and [[spiritual]] [[target defense]] (TD).  In focusing better, a caster has a greater chance to spot and disarm traps, resist [[sheer 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 [[#Lore Benefit|Spiritual Lore, Blessings]].

The bonus for this spell is capped at the caster's level, or a maximum of 63.

Unlike other spells with increasing bonuses, the [[mana]] cost does not increase and always remains a flat 13 mana.

==Lore Benefit==

Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] provides an additional bonus to the spell's +20 base spiritual TD bonus of 1 per seed 5 [[summation]] of ranks.
