__NOTOC__
__NOTOC__
'''Spirituality''' is an art centered around three primary components: the spiritual mace, the shield, and the
guardian angel. The trained [[Luminaries|Luminary]] employs all three in order to enact the Light's will and fight for the
[[Age of Dawn]].
The mace is an ordinary mace, empowered by [[Spirit Plane|Spirit]] - it deals magical rather than mundane damage, and can be
used to direct the Luminary's righteous powers in other, more sophisticated ways.
The shield is a complement to the mace, allowing the Luminary to cast several spells of Light. More mundanely,
it can be used to deliver crushing, stunning blows.
The guardian angel is a creature of Spirit, and the Luminary's steadfast companion. It acts in a primarily
defensive, supporting capacity, but is capable of terrible feats of violence. Additionally, angels maintain a
strict antipathy toward beings of [[Chaos Plane|Chaos]], and can sense their unnatural presences even at great distances.

|syntax = ANGEL ABSOLVE <target>
|description = Angel power cost: 500
 
Using this most powerful of angelic abilities, your angel will attempt to rip the very soul from
your enemy. Should they be below 45% of their maximum mana reserves, then your angel will
successfully rip out their soul and their life will end on the spot.
 
This will also restore a portion of your angel's power, depending on the target's level, and can
overflow your angel's maximum power.
 
If they are protected by the Soulcage skill, then this skill will destroy that defence instead.

|description =  
Shields are one of the main tools of the Luminary, second only to the mace. Most abilities that
make use of your shield will have their damage and balance recovery times altered by the type of
shield you use.
 
The simplest way to look at it is that smaller shields are faster, while bigger shields deal more
damage. Some abilities may have more unique effects based on your shield type, however they will be
described in the relevant AB help file for that ability.
 
Below is a list of shields from smallest to largest:
Buckler shield
Cavalry shield
Banded shield
Kite shield
Tower shield
 
All shields can offer the same level of protection, the only thing that matters is the size for
your abilities.
