Your character's current and maximum spirit points can be found using the HEALTH command. The amount of maximum spirit points a character has is determined by that character's Aura statistic divided by 10, rounded (i.e. 95 Aura will give 10 maximum spirit.)

Different races will recover spirit at different intervals, or spirit regeneration rates. In addition, Clerics and Empaths can MEDITATE to gain spirit back faster, as is done with health and mana.

Uses of Spirit Points

  • Spirit points play an integral role in many of the signs of the Council of Light.
  • Some undead can drain spirit with a successful physical attack followed by a successful warding roll.
  • Certain advanced Alchemy recipes require the alchemist to channel spirit points into the formulation. (This always consumes 2 points.)
  • Casting certain Cleric spells can require spirit points, notably Well of Life (308) and Raise Dead (318).

Having fewer than 1 spirit point results in a spirit death.
