Type: Defense
While beseeching her chosen Patron Arkati, the Paladin attempts to call a mantle down upon her, providing a protective, cloaking barrier. This dully illuminated mantle adds +5 to generic Defense Strength (DS), as well as enhances the Paladin's ability to ward off spiritual magic by increasing the spiritual Target Defense (TD) +5.
Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Blessings[/LINK] increases this bonus by +1 at two ranks, with a maximum additional bonus of +18 at 189 ranks. This bonus results in increased mana cost: +1 Mana Point (MP) for every +1 DS/TD above +5 DS/TD. This lore bonus is only applied when self-cast by a Paladin.
The Paladin can also call upon her Patron Arkati to cloak another person in the mantle of her faith. The target will receive the base +5 DS/TD bonus and the duration is not cumulative.

Type: Attack
Throughout a Paladin's life in the service of his patron Arkati, he will see a great turmoil and strife among the average citizens of the world. When Pious Trial is cast, the Paladin calls upon his patron Arkati to use memories of conflicts in order to instill a great burden on the target, causing arduous tribulation. This burden adds a 2 second slow effect to the target for 60 seconds. This spell is not stackable or refreshable.
Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning[/LINK] increases the slow effect +1 RT at 10 ranks and another +1 at 25 ranks.
Every 10 ranks of [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Blessings[/LINK] allows for the spell to affect one additional target when the spell is open cast (cast without specifying a target).
The Paladin's faith is said to have the power to lift the burden from her shoulders. When cast, this spell calls upon divine influence to improve the center of focus for spell casting, effectively reducing the potential hindrance any armor she wears might impose. Five percent hindrance is removed from the base hindrance for the armor type when casting spells of the spiritual sphere ([LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=3 Minor Spirit[/LINK], [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=4 Major Spirit[/LINK], [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=7 Cleric[/LINK], Paladin, [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=9 Ranger[/LINK]).
Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Summoning[/LINK] further reduces the armor type's base hindrance by an additional 1% per 3 ranks, to a maximum of an additional 5% at 15 ranks. This lore bonus is only applied when the spell is self-cast by a Paladin.
When cast upon a non-holy item: 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. The spell will also allow the Paladin to reduce or eliminate the amount of spoil in certain food and drink items.
Consecrate will increase the duration (number of swings) of a blessed weapon 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.
Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Blessings[/LINK] increases the duration upon the next cast of Bless Item, as well as the [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/societies/voln.asp Order of Voln's[/LINK] Symbol of Blessing and Symbol of Holiness by providing a +5% duration increase per rank, with a maximum of 100% duration increase at 10 ranks. Spiritual Lore, Blessings training also 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.
When cast upon holy weapons: A Paladin may channel her spiritual energy into a holy weapon (sanctified) adding plasma criticals, to cause it to flare up to two times against a foe. 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.
Each time the weapon fails to flare, the base percent chance it will flare increases each successful hit until a flare occurs. For the second flare, the base chance is increased with training in the Spiritual Lore, Blessings skill, providing an additional 4% at 3 ranks, with the maximum bonus of 68% at 187 ranks.
A dedication to Paladin spell training will increase the number of swings +1 for every Paladin spell rank over 8 to a maximum of 25 additional swings (75 total swings).
Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Blessings[/LINK] increases the bonus further, adding a +1 for every rank.
Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning[/LINK] increases the potency of the secondary lore flares.

A stalwart faith in her patron grants the Paladin a powerful spiritual defense, aiding in warding off spells by providing a base benefit of +50 to spiritual Target Defense (sTD) for 30 seconds.
Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Religion[/LINK] provides and addition bonus of +3 sTD at 5 ranks, with the maximum of +24 sTD bonus at 68 ranks, totaling +74 sTD (base bonus + lore bonus).
When cast upon a dead adventurer, the Paladin calls upon his deity to transport a fallen corpse to a pre-determined safe haven. The Paladin must have an appropriate anchor set in order for the dead body to be successfully transferred. For a Paladin to set an anchor, they must seek out a shrine. Once there, they should kneel, prepare the Aid the Fallen spell, then recite a short PRAYer. The prayer should include specific keywords to denote their faith and belief. It is possible for the Paladin to have more than one anchor set, as long as the anchors are in different areas of the world.
Once a Paladin has learned 40 ranks of [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning[/LINK], they may use this ability when dead to return their corpse to their anchored location. 20 mana is still required to use the ability via BESEECH when dead.
The corpse must be grouped with the Paladin for this spell to work.
Sanctify allows a Paladin to call upon their patron to bond them to their favored weapon. To bond, the Paladin must seek out a holy shrine, purify their weapon of impurities (through spell 1604, if it is not already holy), and then cast Sanctify upon their chosen weapon. Once bonded, the weapon will become sanctified in the hands of the Paladin it is bonded to. This bond is so strong that the weapon will resist use by anyone other than the Paladin who is bonded to it. The bond can then be further strengthened through use in combat.
There are five bonding levels that the bonded weapon can reach, beyond its starting level (rank 0). At Rank 1, if the weapon has no other special abilities (flares, weighting, etc.) it will gain permanent Consecrate flares. At Rank 3, the Paladin can begin to infuse offensive spells into the weapon that can then flare during combat. At Rank 5, the weapon will gain the ability to return to the Paladin's hand, should it be disarmed or hurled. At each rank, the Paladin will receive a +2 bonus to their CML attack/defensive strength when using the bonded weapon. The Paladin will also be able to draw strength and clarity of thought from their patron merely by holding the bonded weapon in their hand (+1 to Strength and Wisdom Bonus per rank).
In order to achieve and maintain each rank, the Paladin must have sufficient spell training in the Paladin spell list. In order to reach bonded rank 1 (or, indeed, maintain the bond at all), the Paladin must have 25 ranks in the Paladin spells. Rank 2 requires 26 ranks, Rank 3 requires 27 ranks, Rank 4 requires 28 ranks, and Rank 5 requires 29 ranks. If a Paladin achieves a certain bonded rank and then unlearns the prerequisite spell rank, their bond with their weapon will either weaken to the appropriate level or dissolve altogether if the spell is completely unlearned.
To infuse a spell into the weapon, the Paladin will need to either PREPARE or INVOKE a spell and then attempt to INFUSE it into their weapon. Only targeted, non-bolt/ball offensive spells may be infused into the weapon (no mass spells). The maximum effective spell level that can be infused into the weapon is the weapon's bonded rank -2, multiplied by 4 [(Bonded Rank - 2) * 4]. Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning[/LINK] can raise this maximum level (Seed 2). Spells that the Paladin can learn (Minor Spiritual and Paladin circles) are treated as having an effective level equal to their base level (i.e. 1602 = level 2). Spells that are fully spiritual in nature that are non-native to the Paladin are treated as having an effective level equal to 1.25x their base level (i.e. 214 = level 17), spells that are semi-spiritual are treated as 1.5x their base level (i.e. 708 = level 12), and spells that are non-spiritual are treated as 2x their base level (i.e. 512 = level 24).
Once infused, the spell will be stored in the weapon until it is activated via BESEECH <weapon>. Upon activation in combat, the weapon will transfer knowledge of the spell back to the Paladin and compel them to cast it at the next target they attack.
Should the Paladin decide to bond to another weapon, they may CHANNEL Sanctify at their bonded weapon to break their current bond and then repeat the bonding ritual with another weapon. The CHANNEL step is optional, but failure to sever the old link before bonding to a new weapon will render the formerly bonded weapon unusable by anyone, should it never touch its former master's hands again.
A paladin is faced with many trials throughout her life which may force her to judge the condemned. Casting this spell, the paladin calls out to her patron for aid in assisting with the punishment of the unworthy, which results in the manifestation of the deity's influence. This focus serves as a conduit through the paladin, temporarily giving her the ability to punish as she sees fit.
Judgment, a powerful spell based on Casting Strength (CS), has the ability to strike multiple enemies with damage appropriate for the patron deity, and the spell will potentially force them to kneel. A base 3 targets will be struck, with additional targets based on lore knowledge (see below). The spell is group-friendly, but not otherwise player-friendly.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning increases the number of targets by one for every 50 additional skill (not ranks). For example, a paladin with 120 skill can hit 5 targets.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Religion increases the 35% base chance that the target will be forced to kneel, if applicable, by 2% per rank, to a maximum of a 85% chance. The higher the level of the target versus the caster, the more difficult it is to force them to kneel.
Divine Intervention calls the patron to the Paladin's aid, assisting in freeing her from her plight. The patron Arkati removes one status effect from the Paladin when she uses the BESEECH command, at a cost of 35 Mana Points (MP), to call for assistance. Such effects include, but are not limited to web, stun, bind, poison, disease, and curse. Because the deity is removing the effect and not the Paladin, there is no spell hindrance. The Paladin cannot be asleep when using this ability.
Note: Using the BESEECH command at any other time will not cost the paladin 35 MPs.
Those Paladins that truly dedicate themselves to their patron Arkati are granted the ability to battle resurrect the dead while in combat. When cast, the corpse will be brought back to life with a single cast of all of their known defensive spells, plus up to 20 levels of outside spells that were active upon death. They will no longer lose health due to bleeding, and their actions will not be hindered by wounds. Their health, stamina, mana, and spirit will be returned to full. Finally, they will be jolted into a prone position in defensive stance, and be stunned for 5 seconds with 5 seconds of roundtime. After 10 minutes, all active spells will fall, and they will begin to bleed again. Their health will be reduced to 25 hit points, and stamina, mana, and spirit will be reduced to 1.
The Paladin will lose 75% of the target's maximum spirit points. This is not to be confused with actual spirit points; this means that if the Paladin has less than or equal to 75% of the dead character's spirit points, the resurrection attempt will kill him/her. For example, if the dead character has 10 spirit points, a Paladin would need 8 actual spirit points to complete the resurrection (and survive). A Paladin may APPRAISE the corpse to determine its maximum spirit points.
The Paladin does not pay the spirit cost until the 10-minute effect has expired. The newly resurrected character may end the effect prematurely and the Paladin can independently end the effect on themselves to pay the spirit cost via UNLINK. The Paladin may not perform another resurrection until they've paid for any pending spirit costs.
There is a percentage chance equal to 100% minus the caster's [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#manashare Spiritual Mana Control[/LINK] (SMC) skill that the resurrection attempt will severely injure the caster, possibly resulting in the caster's death. It is recommended that the caster have 102 skill in SMC before attempting to raise the dead.
This rare gift can be used once per day. Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#spirlore Spiritual Lore, Religion[/LINK] increases the number of times the Paladin is able to raise the dead in a given day; 2 times per day at 20 ranks and 3 times per day at 40 ranks.
The corpse must be grouped with the Paladin for this spell to work.
