Item Spell

General

By holding the ashes (i.e. the urn) of a dead person a Ritualist may receive a boon of some kind, e.g. healing, protection, damage to foes, or others. The effect will happen either while you carry the urn and/or when you drop it. There are three styles of urns. Red, rectangular urns are created by offensive item spells, orange, mushroom-shaped urns are used by defensive and supportive item spells, and a large silver ovoid urn is used by Lively Was Naomei.

Side Effects

Note that while you "hold the ashes" you are actually physically holding the urn with your hands, instead of your weapons. This means:

• The urn will be visible in your hands and you will see a "Drop Item" button on your screen.
• You cannot perform combat attacks.
• You will not gain any weapon effects such as armor, energy, or damage reduction. Therefore, the energy loss actually caused by the spell can be greater than just its cost. (Note: This can be used to end hexes like Malaise or Wither.)

However, unlike holding most other bundles, holding ashes does not slow down your movement speed.

As soon as you drop the urn (by hitting the "drop" button or by changing to a Weapon Set), you re-equip your weapons and gain back all bonuses.
