Help : Spell Sanctuary

If you are new here, you may want to download one of many MUD clients, and see our getting started guide.

(such as "spell" or "MUD Basics") 

   Sanctuary imbues the victim with a divine force which reduces the amount of
physical damage the victim would otherwise take during a combat.  This is
mainly for use when fighting larger, more dangerous opponents, as it has
little effect unless the damage inflicted is fairly large to begin with.  This
spell lasts a short time, around 7 hours.  A target may not both be wrapped
in a necromancer's shroud and sanctified at the same time.

   Your saves against poisonous attacks are also increased as well are the
few undead who are protected from being dispelled.

   Effect:
      Damage reduction )(damage - 18) / 2) + 18 against attacks greater then
      18 damage
      Save Fortitude: 1

   Duration:
      5 hours + ((level * 1 hour) / 4) 

   Example:
      Level 10 - Incoming Damage : 25
         Effect:
            Incoming Damage reduced to ((25 - 18) / 2) + 18 = 3 + 18 = 21
            Save Fortitude: 1 = 4%
         Duration: 5 + (5 / 4) = 6 minutes
